Speed control of a DC shunt Motor by Field Control Method – Electrical Practical

Shunt DC Motors operate on direct current. As such, the field windings and armature are connected in a parallel combination, and in electrical terminology a parallel combination is known as a shunt. This type of motor is a “shunt-wound” DC Motor and the type of winding is called a shunt winding. DC motor speed can be controlled with relative ease. We know that the emf equation of DC motor is given as,

With is practical we will show you how we can control the speed of a DC shunt motor and will show the speed versus field current characteristic.
