Armature Voltage Control:
Ra and If are kept constant and the armature
terminal voltage is varied to change the motor
speed.

; f d is const .
For constant load torque, such as applied by an
elevator or hoist crane load, the speed will
change linearly with Vt. In an actual
application, when the speed is changed by
varying the terminal voltage, the armature
current is kept constant. This method can also
be applied to series motor.

Field Control:
Ra and Vt are kept constant, field rheostat is varied to
change the field current.

Te
For no-load condition, Te=0. So, no-load speed varies
inversely with the field current.
Speed control from zero to base speed is usually
obtained by armature voltage control. Speed control
beyond the base speed is obtained by decreasing the field
current. If armature current is not to exceed its rated
value (heating limit), speed control beyond the base
speed is restricted to constant power, known as constant
power application.

The value of Radj can be adjusted to obtain
various speed such that the armature current Ia
(hence torque, Te=KafdIa) remains constant.
Armature resistance control is simple to
implement. However, this method is less
efficient because of loss in Radj. This resistance
should also been designed to carry armature
current. It is therefore more expensive than the
rheostat used in the field control method.
Speed Control in Series DC Motors
Armature Voltage Control:
A variable dc voltage can be applied to a series motor to
control its speed. A variable dc voltage can be obtained
from a power electronic converter.

Rae is an external resistance connected in series with
the armature.
For a given supply voltage and a constant developed
torque, the term (Ra+Rae+Rs+Km) should remain
constant. Therefore, an increase in Rae must be
accompanied by a corresponding decrease in m.

The losses are made up of rotational losses (3-15%), armature
circuit copper losses (3-6%), and shunt field copper loss (1-5%).
The voltage drop between the brush and commutator is 2V and
the brush contact loss is therefore calculated as 2Ia.
