Speed control of D.C Motors (Shunt type)
D.C shunt motor speed can be controlled by the following methods:
i. Flux control method.
ii. Armature control method.
iii. Voltage control method.
N a 1/F ; By decreasing flux, speed can be increased and vice – versa. The
flux of DC motor can be changed by changing the field current with the help
of shunt field rheostat.
N a (V-Ia Ra), The speed / armature current characteristics show that greater
the resistance in armature circuit , greater fall in speed.
Shunt field of motor is connected permanently to a fixed exciting voltage, but
armature is supplied with different voltages by connecting it across one of the
several different voltage by means of suitable switchgear.
