8. Calculate the speed vs. torque regulation (full load= 9 lbf.

in) using the

````equation:

% regulation=

( no load speed) – (full load speed) x 100

( full load speed)

`````Speed regulation= 13.92%

9. Set the dynamometer control knob at its full cw positon ( to provide the
````maximum starting load for the shunt-wound motor).

10. a. Turn on the power supply and gradually increase the dc voltage until
``````the motor is drawing 3 amperes of line current. The motor should turn
``````very slowly or not at all.

b. Measure and record the dc voltage and the torque developed.

E= 120 V torque= 9 lbf. In

c. Return the voltage to zero and turn off the power supply.

11. a. The line current in Procedure 10 is limited only by the equivalent dc

```````resistance of the shunt-wound motor.

b. Calculate the value of the starting current if the full line voltage (120
``````Vdc) were applied o the shunt-wound dc motor.

````Starting current= 0.817 A
