3.0 SYNOPSIS & THEORY

Refer lecture notes

4.0 PROCEDURE
1. Assemble the circuits as specified in the circuit diagram and set-up instructions
below.
2. Include an ammeter and voltmeter in the armature circuit
3. Include an ammeter in the exciter circuit.
4. Switch on the brake. This does not yet subject the motor to any load.

2
PART 1: Record the characteristic of n" as a function of "M" using the

3
"ActiveDrive/ActiveServo" software

5. Brake: Torque "PC Mode"

6. Field regulator: minimum value (0 Ω)
7. Adjustable DC power supply unit (armature voltage): 220/190/160V
8. DC power supply unit (exciter circuit voltage): 210V
9. Start the "ActiveDrive/ActiveServo" software
10. In the menu select Setting -> Operating mode -> Torque control
11. The motor should be subjected to a load equivalent to its nominal torque
12. Label the diagram as given in the placeholder
13. Record a total of three load characteristics for the three specified armature
circuit voltages
14. After completing the measurement export the completed diagram with all three
characteristics and copy it into the appropriate space below
15. Compute the nominal torque of the motor as given by the following equation:

4
PART 2: Record the characteristics of "If" and "n" as a function of Rf

16. Brake mode: "Torque Control" Field regulator: minimum value (0 Ω)

17. DC power supply unit: (armature & exciter circuit) 220/210V
18. Switch on the DC power supply
19. Vary the value Rf of the field regulator in 3 steps to reach the speed specified in
the table ( Note: 0.3 KW class ~ 2,2 kΩ; 1 KW class ~ 680 Ω)
20. For each setting measure If and transfer the measured values into the table

5
PART 3: Record the characteristic "n" as a function of "M" using the
"ActiveDrive/ÁctiveServo" software

21. Start the "ActiveDrive/ActiveServo" software

22. The motor should be subjected to a load up to its nominal torque
23. One after another 3 characteristic curves are recorded for 3 field regulator
settings (Rf), each one at the respective speeds 2.300 min-1, 2.600 min-1 and
3000 min-1 (rpm) ( Note: 0.3 KW class ~ 2.2 kΩ; 1 KW class ~ 680 Ω)
24. After completing the measurement export the graph with all 3 characteristics
and copy it into the placeholder below

6
25. Assemble the circuit as specified in the following circuit diagram and setup
26. instructions
27. Include an ammeter and voltmeter in the armature/exciter circuit
28. Switch the brake on too. This does not yet subject the motor to any load

29. Brake:"PC Mode"

30. DC power supply unit: (armature & exciter circuit) 220V

31. Start the "ActiveDrive/ActiveServo" software

32. The motor is to be loaded up to its nominal torque
33. Label the diagram as given in the placeholder
34. The following parameters should be recorded: The degree of efficiency η(M)
(η
 "Eta"), of the armature current IA, the power output P2 and the speed n(M)
35. Before starting the measurement you must have answered the question
36. concerning the nominal torque, which you should have determined in

9
 37. the "speed control" experiment
38. After completing the measurement export the generated graph and copy it into
39. the corresponding placeholder below
40. Determine from the diagram the highest degree of efficiency obtainable

What is the nominal torque?

What is the maximum efficiency "η" for the shunt-wound motor?
