    LOAD TEST ON SEPARATELY EXCITED DC MOTOR

    AIM:  To Study Load Test on Separately Excited DC motor.


    APPARATUS REQUIRED:

    S.NO METER QUANTITY


    1. Ammeter 4
    2. Voltmeter 4
    3. Rheostat 1
    4. DC Voltage source 3
    4. Tachometer 1

    THEORY:

     Separately excited dc motors are very often used as


    actuators in industrial applications.
     These actuators have low friction, small size, high speed,
    low construction cost, operate safely without the use of
    limit switches and generate moderate torque at a high
    torque to weight ratio.
     DC motors are preferred over ac motors because of their
    lower manufacturing costs and, ease of controller
    implementations, since their mathematical model is
    simpler.
    CONSTRUCTION OF DC

     The main parts of a DC machine are Field winding,


    Armature winding, Yoke, Commutator segments and
    Brushes.
     When acting as motor both the armature and field windings
    are given DC supply or the field may be created by
    permanent magnets.

    WORKING PRINCIPLE OF D.C. MOTOR:

     When a current carrying conductor is placed in magnetic


    field, it experiences a mechanical force whose direction is
    given by Flemings left hand rule.


    FLEMINGS LEFT HAND RULE FLEMINGS RIGHT HAND RULE

     Current flows through both field and armature windings.


    Main flux in the machine is produced by the field winding.
     Current flowing through the armature winding interacts
    with the main flux to produce the rotational force
    (Torque).
     Commutator and brush arrangement is used to change the
    direction of armature current as the armature conductors
    pass under different polarities of magnetic field.
     This leads to production of continuous and unidirectional
    torque. As the armature starts rotating, it cuts the flux lines
    produced by the field.
    This action is similar to the generator action and hence
    EMF is induced in the armature winding.
    The direction of this induced EMF by Fleming’s right hand
    rule and is in direct opposition to the applied voltage (observe:
    the direction of current which is same as direction of voltage).

    PROCEDURE:
    1) Close the DPST (Double Pole Single Throw) switch
    connecting supply to field winding of the Separately Excited DC
    motor.
    2) Increase the Separately Excited DC motor field voltage to
    rated value (220V).
    3) Use variable voltage device to increase or decrease the
    supply
    4) Close the DPST switch connecting supply to armature
    winding of the Separately Excited DC motor.
    5) Increase the motor armature voltage to rated value (440V).
    6) As Separately Excited DC motor is connected mechanically to
    Separately Excited DC generator, So both machines rotate with
    same speed. Therefore we can observe speed of generator in
    digital tachometer.

    7) Now increase the excitation of separately excited generator


    such that o/p of generator will be equal to rated value(220V).
    8) Now connect the load by closing the switch as shown in the
    figure
    9) Note the decrease in voltage of generator and increase in
    current of generator. As the load goes on increasing speed and
    armature voltage of the generator decreases.
    10) Store this data by clicking “Start Storing Data”
    11) So to keep the voltage of generator constant at load
    condition adjust the field excitation of generator.
    12) Now again increase the load by closing another load switch.
    13) Store this data by clicking “Start Storing Data”
    14) Go on repeating this procedure till all load is connected and
    data is stored.
    15) Now display the data by clicking “Show data”. For Ex
    Vf = field voltage of DC motor
    If = field current of DC motor
    Va = armature voltage of DC motor
    Ia = armature current of DC motor
    Vfg = field voltage of generator
    Ifg = field current of generator
    Vt = terminal voltage
    Iag = armature current of generator

    16) Now select one of the graphs from available graphs and use
    “Generate graph” to plot the graph. For Ex
    17) While switching off, reduce the generator excitation to
    some lower value and then remove the electrical load of
    generator.
    18) Make motor excitation equal to zero and then reduce motor
    armature voltage to zero.
    19) Speed of motor goes on decreasing and eventually becomes
    zero, then remove field excitation of motor.
