Basic Electrical Experiment
Experimental Setup:
Procedure:
i)
Measure the armature and field resistance using multimeter.
ii)
Connect the circuit as shown in figure 1.
iii)
Connect the voltmeter in parallel with supply and armature terminal of motor
and ammeter in series with armature of motor.
iv)
Input fixed 190 V DC supply to field winding of motor and variable DC supply
to the armature of motor.
v)
Note the armature current and speed for different armature voltage (DC) input.
Armature voltage control
i)
In this method the voltage applied to the armature terminal is controlled by the
variable voltage supply itself.
ii)
The voltage supplied is directly proportional to the speed of the motor
iii)
Thus the change in the supply voltage can adjust the speed of motor.

iv)
v)
Comment in the observation with qualitative reasons for the speed control of
motor. Draw the graph of Speed vs. armature voltage and back emf vs.
armature voltage.
What happens if the additional resistance is added in series with armature?
Why at initial case motor is not supplied with direct rated voltage?
What will happen if the field circuit of the DC motor is open circuited while it
is running at rated speed?
Explain theory of separately excited DC motor.
