The load connected to the motor is a constant torque of 20 Nm. The total moment of inertia of the entire drive system is 1 Nm sec2 . The voltage of the motor at starting is 150 V.

A 500 V, dc shunt motor has the following parameters:



a. Calculate and plot the motor speed versus time.

b. Calculate the motor speed after 5 seconds.

c. Calculate the starting time.

d. The motor reaches the steady-state speed, and the terminal voltage is at full

value. To decrease the motor speed, the terminal voltage is reduced by 10% while

the field remains constant. Calculate the traveling time.


A more generalized form of solution obtained





Once again in the manner of the previous problem, Steady state speed for 135 V = 42.778 rad/s

Steady state speed for 150 V = 47.778 rad/s



a. The speed-time curve plot can be obtained from Eq. 11.14

b. Motor Speed after 5 seconds from Eq. 11.14 = 42.78 rpm (actually obvious

from starting time calculated in part c)

c. Starting Time = 3*0.444 = 1.332 s

d. Travelling time = 0.849*0.444 = 0.377 s
