TO STUDY THE CONNECTIONS AND OPERATION OF A TACHOGENERATOR AS A
TACHOMETER FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF RPM (OF ROTATING SHAFT )OF A
MACHINE
APPARATUS:
A DC machine (Model: M-1/EV) which will be used as a shunt-wound DC motor),
tachogenerator (Model: M-16/EV), variable DC power supply (Model: CEM-E-A/EV),
connecting wires, voltmeters
PROCEDURE:
Connect the DC machine as a shunt-wound DC motor as shown in the circuit diagram. It will be
used as a prime mover. So mechanically couple the shaft of the shunt-wound DC motor with the
tachogenerator. The objective is to find the RPM of the shunt-wound DC motor. Switch on the
DC power supply and gradually increase the input voltage of the shunt-wound DC motor, it will
speed up accordingly. Connect a DC voltmeter (since tachogenerator is a DC generator) across
the output terminals of the tachogenerator and measure its output voltage. The tachogenerator
has two output voltage scales calibrated in terms of RPM. Such that:
Output Voltage Scale# 1: 300 Volts=5000 RPM ⟹ 0.06 Volts=1 RPM
Output Voltage Scale# 2: 10 Volts=5000 RPM ⟹ 0.002 Volts=1 RPM
Using Output Voltage Scale# 1:
5000 RPM
Unknown RPM of machine= × 95 Volts(measured value)=1500 RPM
300 Volts
Using Output Voltage Scale# 2:
5000 RPM
Unknown RPM of machine= ×3 Volts (measured value)=1500 RPM
10 Volts
It is clear that no matter whether we use scale# 1 or scale # 2, both gives the same value of RPM.

Conclusion:
In this experiment successfully demonstrated the functionality of a tachogenerator as a
tachometer for measuring RPM. Its principles of operation, connection requirements, and
practical applications were effectively illustrated, providing a comprehensive understanding of its
role in monitoring rotational speed in various engineering contexts.
