A de series motor operates at full load at a speed of $640 \mathrm{rpm}$ with a terminal voltage of $280 \mathrm{~V} . E_a=236.4 \mathrm{~V}$ at a $I_t$ of $36 \mathrm{~A}$. If $R_s=0.24 \Omega$, find $R_a$. In addition, if $I_t=1.2 \mathrm{~A}$ at no load, find the no-load speed.

Key Concepts

DC Series Motor Fundamentals

DC series motors have their armature and field windings connected in series, meaning the same current flows through both. This configuration causes a unique torque-speed characteristic where the torque is proportional to the square of the current, and the motor exhibits high starting torque and a speed that drops with increasing load.

Voltage Equation in DC Motors

The terminal voltage of a DC motor is shared between overcoming the back electromotive force (EMF) and the voltage drops across its internal resistances (armature and series field). This fundamental equation, V = E_a + I*(R_a + R_s), is key to analyzing motor performance and solving for unknown parameters such as armature resistance.

Armature and Field Resistance

Understanding the distinct contributions of armature resistance and series field resistance is crucial when analyzing DC motor behavior. The voltage drop across these resistances not only impacts the available voltage for generating back EMF but also affects motor performance under load, making accurate evaluation of these resistances essential.

Back EMF and Speed Relationship

In a DC motor, the back EMF is directly proportional to both the rotational speed and the magnetic flux produced by the field windings. This relationship is essential for determining how changes in load or current affect the speed, and it forms the basis for calculating variables such as no-load speed.

No-Load Speed Analysis

No-load speed analysis involves determining the motor speed when the load is minimal, meaning that the current—and thus the internal voltage drops—is very low. At no-load, the back EMF nearly equals the terminal voltage, which enables the estimation of the maximum operational speed of the motor.
