EXPERIMENT NO.1
TITLE: LOAD TEST OF DC SERIES MOTOR USING MECHANICAL LOAD.
OBJECTIVE: To study the torque vs armature current, speed vs armature current &
torque vs speed curve characteristics of DC series motor by using mechanical load.

Torque vs Speed
This characteristic is also called as mechanical characteristic. From the above
two characteristics of DC series motor, it can be found that Torque is inversely
proportional to the Speed (N) i.e. T ∝ 1/N. So that, when speed is high, torque is low
and vice versa. So Torque Speed curve is rectangular hyperbola.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
PROCEDURE:
I. Connect the circuit diagram as shown in diagram.
II. Set the two load at same value, so that initial speed of the motor is with in limit.
III. Switch on power supply and start motor.
IV. Increase load gradually.
V. Note down voltage, current, force, speed for every step.
VI. Disconnect the power supply.
VII. Measure inner diameter of pully.
VIII. Calculate the efficiency.
