Name of the experiment: Simulation of separately excited DC motor
characteristics using Matlab Simulink.
Aim:
1. To familiarize with DC Motors components.
2. To measure the terminal characteristics of a Separately Excited DC Motor.
Theory:
DC machines are generators that convert mechanical energy to dc electric
energy and motors that convert dc electric energy to mechanical energy. Most dc
machines are like ac machines in that they have ac voltages and currents within
them-dc machines have a dc output only because a mechanism exists that
converts the internal ac voltages to dc voltages at their terminals. Since this
mechanism is called a commutator, de machinery is also known as commutating
machinery.
There are five major types of dc motors in general use: Separately excited DC
motor, shunt DC motor, permanent-magnet DC motor, series DC motor,
compounded DC motor.
Like other motors, these devices also have both rotors and stators. Stator refers
to the static section of the device, which contains the field windings. The rotor is
the rotating armature which consists of armature coils or windings. A separately
excited DC motor includes some field coils similar to that of shunt-wound type.
The name shows the structure of this type of motor. Typically, in other DC
motors, the armature coil and the field coil are both powered from a single
source. The field of them does not require any separate excitation. However, in a
separately excited DC motor, a separate supply is used to excitation both the
armature coil and the field coil.

Circuit Diagram:
Experimental Procedures:
1. Connected the circuit as shown in figure 1.
2. Applied a dc voltage of 240-V at the terminals of the armature and ran the
motor at no load condition.
3. Applied a dc voltage of 300-V at the field of the motor.
4. Plotted three graphs - armature current vs speed, armature current vs
torque, torque vs speed respectively.
5. Simulated the circuit and got three graphs.

Analytical Calculation:
 We know that,
Ea = Ka Φ ωm
ωm = Ea/ Ka Φ = (VT – IaRa)/ Ka Φ
So, If armature current increases, then speed decreases.
Similarly,
T = K Φ Ia
So, if armature curent increases, torque also increases.
As we saw torque is proportional to armature current so, if speed decrease by
increasing armature current, similar will happen to speed when torque increases.
Speed will decrease when torque decreases.
