Safety
Basic safety instructions
In all experiments using mains voltages high, life-threatening voltages arise. For that
reason use only safety measurement leads and make sure that there are no shortcircuits.
It is imperative that all of the devices, which are provided with an earth or where
earthing is possible, must be earthed. This is particularly the case for the frequency
converter being used.
Always be very careful to check the wiring of the application modules and only
switch on the mains voltage after a check has been completed. Whenever possible
use a robust current monitoring instrument in the circuit.
Always use shaft-end guards and coupling guards as protection against contact
with rotating motor parts
All locally applicable stipulations and standards governing how electrical equipment
is handled must be complied with.
EEM2 DC machines
Safety
General instructions on handling the equipment
Check that the knurled screws at the base of the motor and the coupling
sleeves (power grip) on the motor shaft are all securely fastened.
Use shaft and coupling guards.
Any prolonged running of the machines when operating under high loads
can subject the machines to excessive heating.
The extreme case of the machine being prevented from rotating entirely
may only arise briefly.
All of the machines are equipped with a thermal circuit-breaker, which
triggers when the maximum permissible operating temperature is
exceeded. These switching contacts are accessible on the terminal
board and must always be connected to the corresponding connection
sockets of the mains supply and control unit.
All measurements have been recorded using conventional measuring
instruments (primarily class 1.5) at the standard mains voltage
(230/400V +5% -10% 50Hz) using standard production machines.
Experience suggests that measurements will lie within the tolerance
range of +/-15% with respect to the specified measurement. For more
information on this please refer to VDE0530.

Definition of rotation direction

If you look at the drive shaft end of the DC shunt-wound machine from the
perspective of the working machine (in our case the brake), the rotating direction is
positive when it is clockwise. If the motor has two workable shaft ends, then it is the
shaft end opposite the cooling vents, collector or slip-rings that is the shaft end
which defines the rotation direction.

Why does the generator produce a low voltage at an exciter current of I = 0

mA?
The voltage results from the inaccuracy of the
measuring instruments being used
The generator charges up statically due to the rotating
motion of the rotor. This surge in charge is measurable

as a low voltage
This voltage is caused by the residual magnetisation
(remanence) of the exciter field

The exciter winding's coercive field strength is not
sufficient to generate a low voltage when it is off

voltage?

Definition of rotation direction

If you look at the drive shaft end of the DC shunt-wound machine from the
perspective of the working machine (in our case the brake), the rotating direction is
positive when it is clockwise. If the motor has two workable shaft ends, then it is the
shaft end opposite the cooling vents, collector or slip-rings that is the shaft end
which defines the rotation direction.

Which compound winding ratio produces the highest efficiency ""?

100% shunt-wound/70% series-wound
What is the optimum efficiency "" of the compound-wound motor at the

appropriate compound winding ratio?
= ____% approx.
Based on the graphs, which statements are true of the compound wound motor?
98
The speed of the compound-wound motor under load

drops more severely than for the shunt-wound motor
regardless of the compound winding ratios
The compound-wound motor can start to "race" in
the no-load state just like the series-wound motor
The higher the series-wound component, the lower the
speed drop under load
The smaller the series-wound component, the lower the
speed drop under load
If the polarity of the series-wound winding is reversed,
the speed increases, due to the fact that the shuntwound winding is weakened
When the polarity is reversed in the series-wound
winding, the speed increases because the field of the
shunt wound winding is amplified
