Torque and Speed Equations of dc motor

Before analysing the various characteristics of motors, let us revise the torque and speed equations are applied to various types of motors.
...              T α Φ Ia from torque equation.
       This is because, 0.159(PZ)/A is a constant for a given motor.
       Now  Φ is the flux produced by the field winding and is proportional to the current passing through the field winding.
                   Φ α Ifield
       But for various types of motors, current through the field winding is different. Accordingly torque equation must be modified.
       For a d.c. shunt motor,  Ish is constant as long as supply voltage is constant. Hence Φ flux is also constant.
...              T α  Ia                 for shunt motors
       For a d.c. series motor,   Ise  is same as  Ia. Hence flux Φ is proportional to the armature current Ia.
...               T  α  Ia   α  Ia2                   for series motors.
Similarly as Eb   = (ΦPNZ)(60A), we can write the speed equation as,
                   Eb  α    Φ N 
...                 N  α  Eb/Φ
       But   V =  Eb   +  Ia  Ra          neglecting brush drop
...             Eb   = V -  Ia  Ra
...     Speed equation becomes,
                N   α (V-Ia  Ra)/Φ
       So for shunt motor as flux is constant,
...              N   α   V - Ia  Ra
       While for series motor, flux Φ is proportional to Ia.
       These relations play an important role in understanding the various characteristics of different types of motors.
1.1 Speed Regulation
       The speed regulation for a d.c. motor is defined as the ratio of change in speed corresponding to no load and full load condition to speed corresponding to full load.
       Mathematically it is expressed as,

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...

Demagnetising and Cross Magnetizing Conductors

The conductors which are responsible for producing demagnetizing and distortion effects are shown in the Fig.1. Fig. 1        The brushes are lying along the new position of MNA which is at angle θ  from GNA. The conductors in the region AOC = BOD = 2θ  at the top and bottom of the armature are carrying current in such a direction as to send the flux in armature from right to left. Thus these conductors are in direct opposition to main field and called demagnetizing armature conductors.         The remaining armature conductors which are lying in the region AOD and BOC carry current in such a direction as to send the flux pointing vertically downwards i.e. at right angles to the main field flux. Hence these conductors are called cross magnetizing armature conductors which will cause distortion in main field flux.        These conductors are shown in the Fig. 2 Fig. 2  ...
