 Controlling the Motor Speed

• Control the armature

voltage, Va

• Control the armature

current, Ia

 Motoring Mode

“Back emf”, Eg is < supply voltage Va

Both Ia and If are positive
14
Regenerative Braking Mode
Field Terminals Reversed

Motor acts as a Generator

Eg becomes > supply Voltage Va
Ia becomes negative 15
 Dynamic Braking

Replace the supply voltage with a resistor

Power dissipated in the resistor rather than given back to
the source
16
 Plugging

Reverse the armature terminals while running

Va and Eg act in the same direction
Ia is reversed, producing “braking” torque 17
