2 Introduction
Of late, solid state circuits using semiconductor diodes, transistors (MOSFET) and thyristors
have become very popular for controlling the speed of AC as well as DC motors and are
progressively replacing the traditional electric power control circuits based on thyratrons,
ignitrons, mercury arc rectifier, magnetic amplifier and motor generator sets etc. As
compared to electrical and electromechanical speed control system, the electronic methods
have higher accuracy, greater reliability, quick response and also higher efficiency as there
are no I2R loses and moving parts. Moreover, full four quadrant speed control is possible to
meet precise high speed standards.
All electronic speed control circuits control the speed of motor by adjusting either
i. Voltage applied to the motor armature or
ii. The field current or
iii. Both of them
DC motors can run from DC supply if available or from AC supply after it has been converted
into DC supply with the help of rectifier which can be either half wave or full wave and
either controlled by varying conduction angle of the thyristors used or uncontrolled.
As stated above, the average output voltage of a thyristors controlled rectifier can be
changed by changing its conduction angle and hence the armature voltage of the DC motor
can be adjusted to control its speed.
When runs on a DC supply the armature DC voltage can be changed with the help of
thyristors chopper circuit which can be made to interrupt DC supply at different rates to give
different average values of DC voltage.
MOSFET are used to control the average DC power delivered to the motor by using Pulse
Width Modulation technique. The PWM waveform will be generated from MCU and then
after amplification is applied to the base of MOSFET. It will control the field current of motor
to control its speed.[2]
2.1 Background
We were required to do a project during our internship in Tank Manufacturing factory. We
have visited different shops and decided to make an electronic speed control for DC motor.

The main reason behind it was we have just studied DC motors in our Electrical Machinery
course in 4th semester. Also the electronic speed controls which are already in use have
older technology. We decided to make an electronic speed control by using a
microcontroller. We also wanted to show the speed of motor on the LCD screen and also
make some emergency protection switches. Due to our limited knowledge we were not able
to complete all the proposed tasks but we have tried our best to complete them.
2.2 Scope
The characteristics of a shunt-wound motor give it very good speed regulation, and it is
classified as a constant speed motor, even though the speed does slightly decrease as
load is increased. Shunt-wound motors are used in industrial and automotive applications
where precise control of speed and torque are required.
DC motors are widely used in industry in Robots, CNC Machines, Drilling Motors,
helicopters; Food processors and grinders spin blades and Toaster ovens, tanks, heavy
machinery, vehicles etc. They are also used in fans, turbines, drills, the wheels on electric
cars, locomotives and conveyor belts. Also, in many vibrating or oscillating machines, an
electric motor spins an irregular figure with more area on one side of the axle than the
other, causing it to appear to be moving up and down
Sometimes the speed of the dc machines e.g. universal motors tend to go to destructive
speeds, these speed may damage the equipment so speed control system is used in them.
Speed control is used to set a desired torque to speed ratio for a desired load.
2.3 Recommendation
We have made the speed control system of a DC motor by using PWM pulse width
modulation. There are some recommendations about the control system that are described
briefly:
 This circuit is so simple as compared to the previous one so it’s easy to dig out the
error in the circuit.
 The circuit is programmed by using the micro controller so there is more accuracy in
this circuit.
 Previous circuits were very large and complex and this circuit is too simple to
understand.
 Many DC motors are used in industry so we need their control system so it’s good to
use this circuit because it’s more accurate and reliable.
 In previous switch there was no protection i.e. when the speed increases from the
required there was no switching off system but in this circuit we have the system
that when the speed will increase from the required speed the circuit will control it.
2.4 Procedure
The whole project was divided into four portions:
 Circuit Designing
 Programming of MCU
 Circuit Simulation
 PCB Designing
 Practical Implementation and Troubleshooting
2.4.1 Circuit Designing

We have consulted some books, searched on the internet, consulted with our teachers and
discussed with our group supervisor. We have chosen different techniques but they were
rejected due to their drawbacks. One of the main techniques was voltage chopper which
chop the DC voltage into a required average voltage. Its average value can be adjusted by
switching frequency for on time and off time of chopping MOSFET.
Another technique which can be implanted was the voltage controlled rectifier. It uses a
three phase rectifier circuit implemented by using SCR. The firing angle of the SCR can be set
by changing voltage at the gate terminal of SCR. When the voltage is increased SCR is fired
at low input AC voltage when the voltage is decreased the SCR is fired at higher input AC
voltage. So the average output voltage can be adjusted by changing the firing angle of SCR.
Finally we have decided to use voltage controlled rectifier to control the speed of the motor.
2.4.2 Programming of MCU

Programming code of MCU is given in the Appendix it is also given in the CD as a soft copy.
2.4.3 CCP feature of PIC16F873

CCP is the initial of Capture/Compare/PWM (Pulse Width Modulation).
 Capture: this is the function to capture the 16 bits value of timer1 register when an
event occurs on pin RC2/CCP1. This can be used for the measurement of the period
time of the signal like the frequency counter and so on.

 Compare: this is the function to compare constantly the 16 bits value of timer1
register against the CCPR1 register value. This is convenient when it makes
interruption occur periodically.
 PWM: this is the function to make a periodic pulse generate. This function is used to
control an external circuit with changing pulse duration (Duty).
The timer resource of the capture and compare is timer1 and the timer resource of
PWM is timer2.
CCP1 and CCP2 can be worked at the same time. However, because they are using
the same timer resources, the interaction occurs.

CCP1 CCP2 Interaction of two CCP modules
Same TMR1 time-base.

Capture Capture
The captured time value is different but it can be used at the same time.
Timer1 is cleared by compare operation.

CCP1 register is comprised of two 8 bits registers: CCPR1L for low byte and CCPR1H for high
byte. The CCP1CON register controls the operation of CCP1. The special event trigger is
generated by compare match and will reset Timer1.
CCP2 register is comprised of two 8 bits registers: CCPR2L for low byte and CCPR2H for high
byte. The CCP2CON register controls the operation of CCP2. The special event trigger is
generated by compare match and will reset Timer1 and start an A/D conversion if the A/D
modules are enabled.
2.4.4 Circuit Simulation

A verity of software is available for simulation. We have used Proteus ISIS Schematic
Capture because its library offers a wide range of components. It also has animated motors
and LCD. It provides real time simulation of circuits. It also offers microcontroller simulation
and some latest features. The software and Simulation files of all the circuits used are
available in CD attached with the report.

2.4.5 PCB Designing

Express PCB and Proteus ARES PCB Layout are tom main software to design PCB Layout. We
have used ARES PCB Layout provided by Proteus to design the PCBs for our circuit. The PCB
files and the software are provided in the attached CD.
2.4.6 Practical Implementation and Troubleshooting

Due to the shortage of time we were not able to practically implement and test the circuit.

3 Circuits Explanation
Figure-3.1 Schematic Capture of Speed Control Circuit (Available in CD)
3.1
3.2 Control voltage input circuit

This is the circuit which inputs the control voltage which was created by the turning of the
motor in PIC. The input voltage to PIC is converted by A/D converter. Changed voltage is
used for the PWM function of the CCP to control the motor drive. At the circuit this time, a
small motor is used as the generator to detect the number of rotations of the motor. The
input voltage (the control voltage) to PIC is changed by the fluctuation of the number of
rotations of the motor. The other way can be used to detect the number of rotations of the
motor. It is needed to change control voltage to proportional to the number of rotations of
the motor. PIC controls the drive electric current of the motor for the control voltage to
become a regulation value. When the revolution of the motor slows down, i.e. control
voltage goes down, the drive electric current of the motor is increased and number of
rotations is raised. When the control voltage reaches a regulation value, an drive electric
current at the point is held. Oppositely, when the number of rotations of the motor is high,
i.e. the control voltage is high, the drive electric current of the motor is reduced and number
of rotations is lowered. When the control voltage reaches a regulation value, an drive
electric current at the point is held.
DB1 is used to make not conscious of the polarity of the motor. When never making a
mistake in the connection, to use isn't necessary. When the voltage of the motor for the
speed detection is small, it is better not to put.
D1 is used to protect PIC when the voltage of the detection motor is high. C1 is to make
bypass the noise of the detection motor. VR1 is the variable resistor to set the number of
rotations of the main motor. The input voltage of PIC becomes low when bringing VR1 close
to the side 1 and PIC increases the drive electric current of the motor. That is, the revolution
of the motor rises. The input voltage of PIC becomes high when bringing VR1 close to the
side 3 and PIC reduces the drive electric current of the motor. That is, the revolution of the
motor slows down.
3.3 Motor drive circuit

The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) function of PIC is used for the electric current control to
drive a motor.PWM can change the duty of the pulse to output into CCP1 by the data. When
the time which is made the H level of the pulse of CCP1 is short, the time of ON (the L level)
becomes long in TR2. That is, the drive electric current of the motor increases. Oppositely,
when the H level time of the pulse of CCP1 is long, the ON time of TR2 becomes short and
the drive electric current of the motor decreases.
The duty of the pulse of CCP1 is controlled in the voltage (the control voltage) which was
taken in with the control voltage input circuit. When the control voltage is higher than the
regulation value, the H level time of the CCP1 pulse is made long and the number of
rotations of the motor is lowered. When the control voltage is lower than the regulation
value, the H level time of the CCP1 pulse is made short and the number of rotations of the
motor is raised.
I used N-channel MOS FET for the drive of the motor. The P-channel MOS FET can be used,
too. In the case, the duty control of the CCP1 pulse becomes opposite. It becomes low-
speed when the H level of the pulse is short and when long, it becomes high-speed. The way
of connecting between the motor and the FET becomes opposite. In this case, the power of
the transistor for the FET drive should be connected with the source terminal of P-FET.
Because the output of the motor which was used this time is big, there is a gravity that the
motor for the speed detection breaks. Therefore, an electric current is suppressed by the
resistor to have put in series.
3.4 Clock generator circuit

We are using 10-MHz resonator.

There is not directly relation but it is related with the taking-in period with control voltage,
the period of the motor driving pulse to the number of rotations of the motor.
3.5 LED displaying circuit

LEDs are made to light up to monitor the drive situation of the motor. 3 bits of higher ranks
of the control data of PWM are used for the lighting-up of LEDs. In the condition that a
motor isn't driven, all LEDs are turned off. The number of the lighting-up is increased in the
order from LED1 as the drive electric current increases. When the motor is in the maximum
drive condition, all LEDs become lighting-up condition.
At the equipment this time, the LED of the bar type with seven LEDs is used. The circuit can
control eight LEDs. However, at the equipment this time, LED1 isn't used and seven LEDs
from LED2 to LED8 are used. An LED is lit up when RBx is H level.
3.6 Power supply circuit

3 terminal regulator is used to get the operating voltage for PIC.
The about 70-mA electric current flows when seven LEDs are lit up at the same time. I used
a 1 A-type regulator for the safety.[3]

4 Parts Explanation
4.1 PIC16F873 MCU
PIC16F873 MCU is used. The control of the drive
electric current of the motor is done using the
PWM function of the CCP. The voltage according
to the number of rotations of the motor is taken
in to the analog-to-digital converter and has the
control of the drive electric current. This time, it is
using a motor for the speed detection. Also, LEDs
for the monitor are lit up to know the situation of the motor drive.
Data sheet for PIC16F873 is given in Appendix.
4.2 3 terminal regulator

This regulator is used to make the stable power of +5 V. Eight LEDs for the monitor
sometimes light up at the same time.(This time, it is seven) So, when using a 100 mA-type
regulator, little leeway occurs. This time, a 1A type is used for the safety.
4.3 Transistor for MOSFET drive

This transistor is used to drive MOS FET by the output of PIC. It is converting the output of
PIC (0V to 5V) into the voltage to control an MOSFET (0V to 12V).
4.4 Power MOSFET

This is N channel MOS FET. The maximum continuous drain current is 60A. It can afford up
to 228A pulsating current. When the FET is in the ON condition, the resistance between
drain and source is 4 milli-ohm. So, the electric power loss when the 10-A electric current
flows in the ON condition is 0.4 W.
The datasheet for Power MOSFET is given in Appendix.

4.5 Zener Diode

The voltage which is applied to the terminal of PIC is a maximum of +5V.
This diode prevents the destruction of PIC when the speed detection
voltage of the motor exceeds 5V. When more than +5V voltage be
applied never from outside, it is unnecessary.
4.6 Diode Bridge for speed detection voltage polarity

protection
We put the silicon diode bridge not to be in the problem even if it connected
the pole of the motor for the speed detection oppositely. When never making a mistake in
the connection, it is unnecessary.
4.7 Resonator
We have used a 10MH Crystal to produce resonance frequency. When changing the
frequency of resonator, the value with all kinds on the software must be changed.
4.8 Speed Control Rheostat

We have used a speed control rheostat to control the speed of the motor. It becomes low-
speed when turning to the left and it becomes high-speed when turning to the right.

5 Printed Circuit Board

PCB layout of the circuit was made in ARES by Proteus. A copy of the PCB file and software is
included in the CD.
A 3D layout of the PCB generated by ARES is also given below.

6 DC Motor
It has been said that if the Ancient Romans, with their advanced civilization and knowledge of the
sciences, had been able to develop a steam motor, the course of history would have been much
different. The development of the electric motor in modern times has indicated the truth in this theory.
The development of the electric motor has given us the most efficient and effective means to do work
known to man. Because of the electric motor we have been able to greatly reduce the painstaking toil of
man's survival and have been able to build a civilization which is now reaching to the stars. The electric
motor is a simple device in principle. It converts electric energy into mechanical energy. Over the years,
electric motors have changed substantially in design; however the basic principles have remained the
same.
6.1 Magnetism
We all know that a permanent magnet will attract and hold metal objects when the object is
near or in contact with the magnet. The permanent magnet is able to do this because of its
inherent magnetic force which is referred to as a "magnetic field".
Figure-6.1 The lines of flux of a magnetic field travel from the N-pole to the S-pole.
These lines of flux help us to visualize the magnetic field of any magnet even though they
only represent invisible phenomena. The number of lines of flux varies from one magnetic
field to another. The stronger the magnetic field, the greater the number of lines of flux
which are drawn to represent the magnetic field. The lines of flux are drawn with a direction
indicated since we should visualize these lines and the magnetic field they represent as
having a distinct movement from N-pole to S-pole as shown in Figure-6.1. Another but

similar type of magnetic field is produced around an electrical conductor when an electric
current is passed through the conductor as shown in Figure6.2
Figure-6.2 The flow of electrical current in a conductor sets up concentric lines of magnetic
flux around the conductor.
These lines of flux define the magnetic field and are in the form of concentric circles around
the wire. Some of you may remember the old "Left Hand Rule" as shown in Figure-6.2. The
rule states that if you point the thumb of your left hand in the direction of the current, your
fingers will point in the direction of the magnetic field.
Figure-6.3 The magnetic lines around a current carrying conductor leave from the N-pole and
re-enter at the S-pole.
When the wire is shaped into a coil as shown in Figure-6.3, all the individual flux lines
produced by each section of wire join together to form one large magnetic field around the
total coil. As with the permanent magnet, these flux lines leave the north of the coil and re-

enter the coil at its south pole. The magnetic field of a wire coil is much greater and more
localized than the magnetic field around the plain conductor before being formed into a coil.
This magnetic field around the coil can be strengthened even more by placing a core of iron
or similar metal in the center of the core. The metal core presents less resistance to the lines
of flux than the air, thereby causing the field strength to increase.
6.2 Magnetic Propulsion Within A Motor

The basic principle of all motors can easily be shown using two electromagnets and a
permanent magnet. Current is passed through coil no. 1 in such a direction that a north pole
is established and through coil no. 2 in such a direction that a south pole is established. A
permanent magnet with a north and South Pole is the moving part of this simple motor. In
Figure 5-a, the north pole of the permanent magnet is opposite the North Pole of the
electromagnet. Similarly, the south poles are opposite each other. Like magnetic poles repel
each other, causing the movable permanent magnet to begin to turn. After it turns part way
around, the force of attraction between the unlike poles becomes strong enough to keep
the permanent magnet rotating. The rotating magnet continues to turn until the unlike
poles are lined up. At this point the rotor would normally stop because of the attraction
between the unlike poles. (Figure-2.4 B)
If, however, the direction of currents in the electromagnetic coils was suddenly reversed,
thereby reversing the polarity of the two coils, then the poles would again be opposites and
repel each other. (Figure-2.4 C). The movable permanent magnet would then continue to
rotate. If the current direction in the electromagnetic coils was changed every time the
magnet turned 180 degrees or halfway around, then the magnet would continue to rotate.
This simple device is a motor in its simplest form. An actual motor is more complex than the
simple device shown above, but the principle is the same.

6.3 Producing Mechanical Force

As in the generator, the motor has a definite relationship between the direction of the
magnetic flux, the direction of motion of the conductor or force, and the direction of the
applied voltage or current.
Since the motor is the reverse of the generator, Fleming's left hand rule can be used. If the
thumb and first two fingers of the left hand are extended at right angles to one another, the
thumb will indicate the direction of motion, the forefinger will indicate the direction of the
magnetic field, and the middle finger will indicate the direction of current. In either the
motor or generator, if the directions of any two factors are known, the third can be easily
determined.
6.4 General Construction of DC Machines

A typical DC generator or motor usually consists of:
1. An armature core
2. An air gap
3. Poles
4. A yoke
5. An armature winding
6. A field winding
7. Brushes
8. A commutator
9. A frame
10. End bells
11. Bearings
12. Brush supports
13. A shaft
Figure-2.5 Four Pole DC Motor

6.5 Four Pole DC Motor

6.5.1 Armature Core or Stack
The armature stack is made up thin magnetic steel laminations stamped from sheet steel
with a blanking die. Slots are punched in the lamination with a slot die. Sometimes these
two operations are done as one. The laminations are welded, riveted, bolted or bonded
together.
6.5.2 Armature Winding

The armature winding is the winding, which fits in the armature slots and is eventually
connected to the commutator. It either generates or receives the voltage depending on
whether the unit is a generator or motor. The armature winding usually consists of copper
wire, either round or rectangular and is insulated from the armature stack.
6.5.3 Field Poles

The pole cores can be made from solid steel castings or from laminations. At the air gap, the
pole usually fans out into what is known as a pole head or pole shoe. This is done to reduce
the reluctance of the air gap. Normally the field coils are formed and placed on the pole
cores and then the whole assembly is mounted to the yoke.
6.5.4 Field Coils

The field coils are those windings, which are located on the poles and set up the magnetic
fields in the machine. They also usually consist of copper wire are insulated from the poles.
The field coils may be either shunt windings (in parallel with the armature winding) or series
windings (in series with the armature winding) or a combination of both.
6.5.5 Yoke
The yoke is a circular steel ring, which supports the field, poles mechanically and provides
the necessary magnetic path between the poles. The yoke can be solid or laminated. In
many DC machines, the yoke also serves as the frame.
6.5.6 Commutator
The commutator is the mechanical rectifier, which changes the AC voltage of the rotating
conductors to DC voltage. It consists of a number of segments normally equal to the number
of slots. The segments or commutator bars are made of silver bearing copper and are
separated from each other by mica insulation.
6.5.7 Brushes and Brush Holders

Brushes conduct the current from the commutator to the external circuit. There are many
types of brushes. A brush holder is usually a metal box that is rectangular in shape. The
brush holder has a spring that holds the brush in contact with the commutator. Each brush
usually has a flexible copper shunt or pigtail, which extends to the lead wires. Often, the
entire brush assembly is insulated from the frame and is made movable as a unit about the
commutator to allow for adjustment.

6.5.8 Interpoles
Interpoles are similar to the main field poles and located on the yoke between the main
field poles. They have windings in series with the armature winding. Interpoles have the
function of reducing the armature reaction effect in the
commutating zone. They eliminate the need to shift the
brush assembly.
6.5.9 Frame, End Bells, Shaft, and Bearings

The frame and end bells are usually steel, aluminum or
magnesium castings used to enclose and support the
basic machine parts. The armature is mounted on a steel
shaft, which is supported between two bearings. The
bearings are sleeve, ball or roller type. They are normally
lubricated by grease or oil.
6.5.10 Back End, Front End

The load end of the motor is the Back End. The opposite
load end, most often the commutator end, is the Front
End of the motor.
6.6 Shunt Wound - DC Operation Typical

Speed - Torque Curve
Shunt wound motors, with the armature shunted across
the field, offer relatively flat speed-torque
characteristics. Combined with inherently controlled no-
load speed, this provides good speed regulation over
wide load ranges. While the starting torque is
comparatively lower than the other DC winding types,
shunt wound motors offer simplified control for
reversing service.
6.7 Compound Wound - DC Operation Typical Speed - Torque Curve

Compound wound (stabilized shunt) motors utilize a field winding in series with the
armature in addition to the shunt field to obtain a compromise in performance between a
series and shunt type motor. This type offers a combination of good starting torque and
speed stability. Standard compounding is about 12%. Heavier compounding of up to 40 to
50% can be supplied for special high starting torque applications, such as hoists and cranes.
6.8 Series Wound - DC Operation Typical Speed - Torque Curve

Series wound motors have the armature connected in series with the field. While it offers
very high starting torque and good torque output per ampere, the series motor has poor
speed regulation. Speed of DC series motors is generally limited to 5000 rpm and below.
Series motors should be avoided in applications where they are likely to lose their load
because of their tendency to "run away" under no-load conditions. These are generally used
on crane and hoist applications.
6.9 Permanent Magnet - DC Operation Typical Speed - Torque Curve

Permanent magnet motors have no wound field and a
conventional wound armature with commutator and
brushes. This motor has excellent starting torques, with
speed regulation not as good as compound motors.
However, the speed regulation can be improved with
various designs, with corresponding lower rated torques
for a given frame. Because of permanent field, motor
losses is less with better operating efficiencies. These
motors can be dynamically braked and reversed at some
low armature voltage (10%) but should not be plug
reversed with full armature voltage. Reversing current
can be no higher than the locked armature current.
6.10 Brush Shifting

One method of reducing the arcing due to non-linear commutation is to shift the brushes
away from the geometrical neutral position. Then commutation will occur when the
applicable coil is under the influence of a weak magnetic field that will generate a voltage in
the coil, which opposes the induced voltage due to current change. Therefore, this new
voltage will assist rather than hinder the current reversal. In a generator, it is necessary to
shift the brushes forward in the direction of rotation for good commutation. This is true
because the current flow through the conductors is in the same direction as the voltage and,
it commutation is delayed until the coil sides are under the
next pole, it will be assisted by the current reversing voltage.
In a motor, it is necessary to shift the brushes against the
direction of rotation because current flow is in opposition to
the induced voltage. The amount of shift necessary depends
on the load so a given shift will not be satisfactory for all
loads. One effect of shifting brushes is that a
demagnetization component of armature reaction is
introduced. In other words, when the brushes are shifted,
the armature reaction will not only distort the main field
flux but it will also directly oppose the main field. This will

result in a reduction of the field flux. Another effect is that if the brushes are shifted far
enough, it is possible to reduce the number of effective turns because there will be voltages
in opposition to each other between two brushes.
6.11 Speed Torque Curves

Speed torque curves for the three forms of excitation are shown in Figures given above. In a
shunt excited motor, the change in speed is slight and, therefore, it is considered a constant
speed motor. Also, the field flux is nearly constant in a shunt motor and the torque varies
almost directly with armature current.
In a series motor the drop in speed with increased torque is much greater. This is due to the
fact that the field flux increases with increased current, thus tending to prevent the
reduction in back EMF that is being caused by the reduction in speed. The field flux varies in
a series motor and the torque varies as the square of the armature current until saturation
is reached. Upon reaching saturation, the curve tends to approach the straight line trend of
the shunt motor. The no load speed of a series motor is usually too high for safety and,
therefore, it should never be operated without sufficient load.
A compound motor has a speed torque characteristic which lies between a shunt and series
motor.
6.12 Speed Regulation

Speed regulation is the change in speed with the change in load torque, other conditions
being constant. A motor has good regulation if the change between the no load speed and
full load speed is small.
A shunt motor has good speed regulation while a series motor has poor speed regulation.
For some applications such as cranes or hoists, the series motor has an advantage since it
results in the more deliberate movement of heavier loads. Also, the slowing down of the
series motor is better for heavy starting loads. However, for many applications the shunt
motor is preferred.
6.13 Motor Starting

When the armature is not rotating, the back EMF is zero and the total applied voltage is
available for sending current through the armature. Since the armature resistance is low, an
enormous current would flow if voltage were applied under this condition. Therefore, it is
necessary to insert an additional resistance in series with the armature until a satisfactory
speed is reached where the back EMF will take over to limit the current input.

6.14 Losses
6.14.1 Friction and Windage
These losses include bearing friction, brush friction, and windage. They are also known as
mechanical losses. They are constant at a given speed but vary with changes in speed.
Power losses due to friction increase as the square of the speed and those due to windage
increase as the cube of the speed.
6.14.2 Armature Copper Losses

These are the I2 R losses of the armature circuit, which includes the armature winding,
commutator, and brushes. They vary directly with the resistance and as the square of the
currents.
6.14.3 Field Copper Losses

These are the I2 R losses of the field circuit which can include the shunt field winding, series
field winding, interpole windings and any shunts used in connection with these windings.
They vary directly with the resistance and as the square of the currents.
6.14.4 Core Losses

These are the hysteresis and eddy current losses in the armature. With the continual change
of direction of flux in the armature iron, an expenditure of energy is required to carry the
iron through a complete hysteresis loop. This is the hysteresis loss. Also since the iron is a
conductor and revolving in a magnetic field, a voltage will be generated. This, in turn, will
result in small circulating currents known as eddy currents. If a solid core were used for the
armature, the eddy current losses would be high. They are reduced by using thin
laminations, which are insulated from each other. Hysteresis and eddy current losses vary
with flux density and speed.
6.15 Efficiency
For generations or motors, the efficiency is equal to the output divided by the input.
However, in a generator, the input is mechanical while the output is electrical. In a motor
the opposite is true, therefore:
6.16 Horsepower Basics

In 18th century England, coal was feeding the industrial revolution and Thomas Newcomen
invented a steam driven engine that was used to pump water from coal mines. It was a Scott

however, by the name of James Watt, who in 1769 improved the steam engine making it
truly workable and practical. In his attempt to sell his new steam engines, the first question
coal mine owners asked was "can your engine out work one of my horses?" Watt didn't
know since he didn't know how much work a horse could do. To find out, Watt and his
partner bought a few average size horses and measured their work. They found that the
average horse worked at the rate of 22,000 foot pounds per minute. Watt decided, for some
unknown reason, to add 50% to this figure and rate the average horse at 33,000 foot
pounds per minute.
What's important is that there is now a system in place for measuring the rate of doing
work. And there is a unit of power, horsepower.
If steam engines had been developed someplace else in the world, where the horse was not
the beast of burden, we might be rating motors in oxen power or camel power. Today,
motors are also rated in Watts output.
Horsepower as defined by Watt is the same for AC and DC motors, gasoline engines, dog
sleds, etc.

7 Conclusion
Our internship project was that to design a speed control circuit for a DC Motor. The simulations
indicate that this circuit is very easy to implement, in this circuit. Fewer components are used due to
which troubleshooting is made easy. As MCU is used in this circuit so it is more precise, accurate and
reliable.
That’s why this circuit is clearly the better design. This design requires minimal cost to implement the
circuit, it is relatively easy to debug and its maintenance is easy due to simple and short design. In
addition, it is cheaper to build and more durable.
