Applied Voltage Control method of dc motor

Speed Control of D.C. Shunt Motor (Part3)

 3. Applied Voltage Control
        Multiple voltage control : In this technique the shunt field of the motor is permanently connected to a fixed voltage supply, while the armature is supplied with various voltages by means of suitable switch gear arrangements.
       The Fig. 1 shows a control of motor by tow different working voltages which can be applied to it with the help of switch gear. 
Fig. 1  Multiple voltage control
       In large factories, various values of armature voltages and corresponding arrangement can be used to obtain the speed control.
1.1 Advantages of Applied Voltage Control
1. Gives wide range of speed control.
2. Speed control in both directions can be achieved very easily.
3. Uniform acceleration can be obtained.
1.2 Disadvantages of Applied Voltage Control
1. Arrangement is expensive as provision of various auxiliary equipments is necessary.
2. Overall efficiency is low.
General steps to solve problems on speed control
1. Identify the method of speed control i.e. in which of the motor, the external resistance is to be inserted.
2. Use the torque equation,  T α  Φ Ia to determine the new armature current according to the condition of the torque given. Load condition indicates the condition of the torque.
3. Use the speed equation N α  Eb/Φ to find the unknown back e.m.f. or field current.
4. From the term calculated above and using voltage current relationship of the motor, the value of extra resistance to be added, can be determined. The above steps may vary little bit according to the nature of the problem but are always the base of any speed control problem

Condition for Maximum Power Developed In Synchronous Motor

The value of δ for which the mechanical power developed is maximum can be obtained as, Note : Thus when R a is negligible, θ = 90 o for maximum power developed. The corresponding torque is called pull out torque. 1.1 The Value of Maximum Power Developed        The value of maximum power developed can be obtained by substituting θ = δ in the equation of P m .        When R a is negligible,     θ = 90 o  and cos (θ) = 0 hence, . . .               R a = Z s cosθ   and X s = Z s sinθ        Substituting   cosθ = R a /Z s in equation (6b) we get,         Solving the above quadratic in E b we get,        As E b is completely dependent on excitation, the equation (8) gives the excitation limits for a...

Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control of dc motor

Speed Control of D.C. Shunt Motor (Part2)  2. Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control        The speed is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the armature. As the supply voltage is normally constant, the voltage across the armature can be controlled by adding a variable resistance in series with the armature as shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Rheostat control of shunt motor        The field winding is excited by the normal voltage hence I sh is rated and constant in this method. Initially the reheostat position is minimum and rated voltage gets applied across the armature. So speed is also rated. For a given load, armature current is fixed. So when extra resistance is added in the armature circuit, I a remains same and there is voltage drop across the resistance added ( I a R). Hence voltage across the armature decreases, decreasing the speed below normal value. By varyi...
