Study Notes
Load Torque Characteristics
- Load torque is proportional to the square of the speed in a quadratic load.
Speed-Torque Characteristics
- Certain types of lathes, boring machines, and steel mill coilers exhibit a quadratic speed-torque characteristic.
Separately Excited DC Generators
- Separately excited DC generators connected to a constant resistance load have a linear speed-torque characteristic.
Speed-Torque Characteristic Equation
- The equation T = To + (TR - TO) / (nr)^(x) helps determine the speed-torque characteristic of a motor.
- If x = 0 in the equation, it means the speed-torque characteristic is linear.
- The exponential factor 'x' in the speed-torque characteristic equation represents the type of load.
Compound Motor Braking
- During dynamic braking of a compound motor, the armature acts as a generator.
- During counter-current braking of a compound motor, the magnetizing force of the series field winding varies inversely with the speed.
- During regenerative braking of a compound motor, the speed-torque characteristic becomes linear.
- The series field winding of a compound motor is connected like a shunt motor during regenerative braking to achieve a linear speed-torque characteristic.
