NONLINEAR ANALYSIS of a SHUNT DC MOTOR flux φ & EA of a dc machine is a nonlinear function of mmf  anything that changes mmf cause a nonlinear effect on EA mmf should be used to determine EA & mmf determined based on field current and A.R. magnetization curve is a direct plot of EA versus IF for a given speed ω0  effect of variation in field current can be determined directly from its magnetization curve

NONLINEAR ANALYSIS of a SHUNT DC MOTOR If a machine has armature reaction, its flux will be reduced with each increase in load. The total mmf in a shunt dc motor is the field circuit mmf less the mmf due to armature reaction (AR): Fnet = NFIF – FAR magnetization curves are expressed as plots of EA vs field current, normally an equivalent field current is defined that would produce the same output voltage as the combination of all the mmf in the machine The equivalent field current :

NONLINEAR ANALYSIS of a SHUNT DC MOTOR one other effect must be considered when non linear analysis is used to determine EA of a dc motor The magnetization curves for a machine are drawn for a particular speed, usually the rated speed of the machine How can the effects of a given field current be determined if the motor is turning at other than rated speed? The equation for the induced voltage in a dc machine when speed is expressed as rev/min: EA = K’φn , For a given effective field current, the flux in the machine is fixed, so the EA is related to speed by

NONLINEAR ANALYSIS of a SHUNT DC MOTOR Torque-speed characteristic of motor with armature reaction

SPEED CONTROL of SHUNT DC MOTOR Two common methods: 1- Adjusting the field resistance RF (and thus the field flux) 2- Adjusting the terminal voltage applied to the armature Less common method: 3- Inserting a resistor in series with the armature circuit

SPEED CONTROL of SHUNT DC MOTOR Changing the Field Resistance If the field resistance increases, field current decreases (IF↓ = VT/RF↑), and as the field current decreases, flux decreases as well. A decrease in flux causes an instantaneous decrease in the internal generated voltage EA↓ (=Kφ↓ω), which causes a large increase in the machine’s armature current since

SPEED CONTROL of SHUNT DC MOTOR Induced torque in a motor is given by ind =KφIA since flux in machine decreases while current IA increases, which way does the induced torque change? Look at this example:  armature current flow is IA=(250V-245V)/ 0.25Ω= 20A

SPEED CONTROL of SHUNT DC MOTOR What happens in this motor if there is a 1% decrease in flux? If the flux decrease by 1%, then EA must decrease by 1% too, because EA = Kφω Therefore, EA will drop to: EA2 = 0.99 EA1 = 0.99 (245) = 242.55 V armature current must then rise to IA = (250-242.55)/0.25 = 29.8 A Thus, a 1% decrease in flux produced a 49% increase in armature current

SPEED CONTROL of SHUNT DC MOTOR back to original discussion, the increase in current predominates over the decrease in flux so, ind>load , the motor speeds up However, as the motor speeds up, EA rises, causing IA to fall. Thus, induced torque ind drops too, and finally ind equals load at a higher steady-sate speed than originally Summarizing behaviour: 1- increasing RF causes IF (=VT/RF) to decrease 2- decreasing IF decrease φ

SPEED CONTROL of SHUNT DC MOTOR 3 – Decreasing φ lowers EA(=Kφω) 4 - Decreasing EA increases IA (=VT-EA)/RA 5- increasing IA increases Tind (=KφIA), with change in IA dominant over change in flux 6-increasing Tind makes Tind>Tload & speed ω increases 7-increase in ω, increases EA= Kφω again 8-increasing EA decreases IA 9-Decreasing IA decreases Tind until Tind=Tload at a higher ω Effect of increasing RF on O/P characteristic of a shunt motor shown in next figure

SPEED CONTROL of SHUNT DC MOTOR Effect of RF speed control on a shunt motor’s torque-speed (over motor’s normal operating range)

SPEED CONTROL of SHUNT DC MOTOR Effect of RF speed control on a shunt motor’s torque-speed (over entire range from no-load to stall conditions)

SPEED CONTROL of SHUNT DC MOTOR According to equation of speed presented before: (a) no-load speed is proportional to reciprocal of flux in motor (b) while slope of the curve is proportional to reciprocal of flux squared Therefore a decrease in flux causes slope of torque-speed to become steeper over this range, an increase in field resistance increases motor’s speed For motors operating between no-load & full-load conditions, an increase in RF may reliably be expected to increase operating speed

SPEED CONTROL of SHUNT DC MOTOR In previous figure (b) terminal characteristic of motor over full range from no-load to stall shown In figure can see at very slow speeds, an increase in field resistance will actually decrease speed of motor This effect occurs because at very low speeds, the increase in armature current caused by decrease in EA not enough to compensate for decrease in flux in induced torque field resistance Some small dc motors used for control purposes operate at speeds close to stall conditions For these motors, an increase in RF might have no effect or it might even decrease speed of motor Since the results are not predictable, field resistance speed control should not be used in these types of dc motors. Instead, the armature voltage method should be employed

SPEED CONTROL of SHUNT DC MOTOR CHANGING ARMATURE VOLTAGE This method involves changing the voltage applied to the armature of the motor without changing the voltage applied to the field If the voltage VA is increased, then the IA must rise [ IA = (VA ↑ -EA)/RA]. As IA increases, the induced torque ind =KφIA↑ increases, making ind > load , and the speed of the motor increases But, as the speed increases, the EA (=Kφω↑) increases, causing the armature current to decrease This decrease in IA decreases the induced torque, causing ind = load at a higher rotational speed

SPEED CONTROL of SHUNT DC MOTOR Effect of armature voltage speed control

SPEED CONTROL of SHUNT DC MOTOR Inserting a Resistor in Series with the Armature Circuit If a resistor is inserted in series with the armature circuit, the effect is to drastically increase the slope of the motor’s torque-speed characteristic, making it operate more slowly if loaded. This fact can be seen from the speed equation: The insertion of a resistor is a very wasteful method of speed control, since the losses in the inserted resistor are very large. For this reason, it is rarely used
