DC motor speed control


Two types of dc machines are commonly used for speed control: 1) Separately excited dc machine .

2) Series excited dc machine .

For this course we will discuss only about the separately excited dc motor.

Tm

Speed below base (rated) speed is controlled by controlling Va. . Speed can be varied by varying Va , keeping flux rated value.

Va is at rated value

Speed above base (rated) speed is controlled by changing flux (or Km) and keeping armature voltage constant at rated value.

Base Speed

By controlling Va smoothly one can obtain speed control for any torque. This is

the preferred method of speed control below base speed (i.e.) constant torque, variable power region. Above base speed the speed control is achieved by reducing flux of the machine (flux weakening) at rated armature voltage. This means reducing (or Km ) (constant power, variable torque region). Time constant of the armature circuit is much smaller compared to the armature in a separately excited dc motor . Hence Va control is faster than F(Km ) control.

Example on operating regions


In a separately excited dc motor, the speed is varied from 0-1500 rpm (base speed) by varying the terminal voltage from 0-500V, and keeping the machine flux constant. The rated torque is 300 N-m. (a) Find the output power at (i) 750 rpm and (ii) 1500 rpm if the torque is held constant at 300 N-m up to base speed. (b) Above base speed, the armature voltage is kept constant at 500V and the flux is weakened to achieve speed control. Find the motor torque at 3000 rpm.

Solution of example
(a) Torque at 750 rpm = torque 1500 rpm = 300 N-m. 750 rpm = 2.
750 60

= 78.54 rad/s.

1500 rad 1500 rpm = 2. = 157.08 . 60 s Power at 750 rpm = 78.54 300 = 23.56 kW. Power at 1500 rpm = 157.08 300 = 47.124 kW (b) This constant power region. output power = rated power= 47.124 kW. Hence torque =
47124 2 .
3000 60

= 150 N-m.

Output of the motor

Note : If position control is required then another loop has to be added at the starting. Position reference will be the input. Speed reference will come from the output of the position (PI) controller.

Conclusions
Thus for controlling motor up to base speed For changing armature voltage we need a converter. To minimize or limit the current flowing in the armature circuit during transients, we need a current sensing loop and a current controller with limit. We need a speed controller which will provide the current reference needed for the current controller.
