    This document summarizes a direct load test experiment performed on a 3BHP, 220V DC shunt motor. Key steps include: (1) recording no-load current and speed, (2) gradually increasing load on motor via belt and pulley while monitoring current, speed, and torque, (3) recording readings up to 110% rated current, (4) removing load gradually and recording data, (5) using observations to plot graphs of input current, speed, torque, and efficiency versus output power. The goal is to determine motor efficiency under varying load conditions.

    Direct load test on a DC shunt motor

    EXPERIMENT NO. 04

    AIM :
    To perform direct load test on a DC shunt motor and plot the variation
    of(a)Input current (b) speed (c) torque (d) efficiency V/s output power.

    APPARATUS:

    S.NO. TYPE RANGE QUANTITY


    01 Voltmeter 0-300 V 01
    02 Ammeter 0-15 A 01
    03 Rheostat 355 Ω/1.6 A 01
    04 Tachometer 2000 rpm 01
    Machine specifications:

    1. DC MOTOR
    Power=3BHP
    Winding =COMP
    Speed=1450 rpm
    0-300V
    Voltage=220V
    230V RATED current=12.5 A

    CIRCUIT DIGRAM:
    0-15A
    THEORY :-

    The load test is conducted to determine the efficiency of a shunt motor by


    actually loading it. Motors are used to convert electrical power into mechanical
    power .If the motor is loaded by a belt and pulley arrangement and if W 1 and W2
    are the tensions in kg on the two sides of the belt. The torque is given by :

    Kg.m

    Where ‘r’ is the effective radius of the pulley in meters


    The mechanical output is given by:

    Output Power = watts

    Output Power = HP

    Where ‘N’ being the speed of motor in rpm


    The power input to the motor is given by the product of the voltage applied to
    the motor and current drawn by it as:
    Input power = (VI) Watts

    Efficiency =

    The speed regulation of a DC motor is defined as the percentage change in the


    speed at rated load. When the load is reduced to zero, that is

    Speed regulation = %

    The speed regulation can be determined experimentally by keeping the change


    in load on the motor shaft gradual.
    PROCEDURE:
    1. Before switching on the supply no load condition should be ensured on the
    motor.
    2. The mains are switched on the mains and the setting of the potential divider
    rheostat is adjusted such that the voltmeter reads the rated voltage for the
    motor.
    3. The motor is started.
    4. No load values of input current and speed are recorded.
    5. The motor is mow loaded by tightening the belt on the pulley. Current and
    speed are recorded after the terminal voltage is checked and adjusted, if
    necessary .the readings of spring balance W1 and W2 are also checked.
    6. The above step is repeated by gradually increasing the load till about 110%
    of rated current of the motor is obtained on the input side.
    7. The load is gradually removed in step intervals and motor current as well as
    speed are noted.
    8. Supply is turned off.
    9. Diameter of the pulley is measured and noted down.
    PRECAUTIONS:
    1. Motor should be brought to no load before switching off in order to avoid
    any motor injury.
    2. All connections should be perfectly tight and no loose wire should lie on the
    work table.
    3. Before switching ON the dc supply, ensure that the starter’s moving arm is at
    its maximum resistance position.
    4. Hold the tachometer with both hands steady and in line with the motor shaft
    so that it reads correctly.

    Viva Questions:-

    1. How do you load the motor in this experiment?


    2. What was the assumption made in calculations?
    3. What is the condition for maximum torque of a D.C. shunt motor?
    4. Why is the starter necessary?
    5. What is the power factor of the load used?
