4. % Efficiency = powerInputpowerOutput × 100
Precautions: 1. The DPST switch must be kept at open position. 2. Make sure that the starter handle is in OFF position. 3. The motor field rheostat should be kept at minimum resistance position at the time of
starting. 4. At the time of starting, there should not be any load connected to motor. 5. While running on load, the brake drum is cooled by pouring water inside the brake
drum. Theory: The shunt motor has a definite no load speed hence it does not run away when load is suddenly thrown off provided the field circuit remains closed. The drop in speed from no-load to full load is small hence this motor is usual referred to a constant speed motor. The efficiency curve is usually of the same shape for all electric motors and generators. The shape of efficiency curve and the point of maximum efficiency can be varied considerable by the designer, though it is advantageous to have an efficiency curve which is fairly flat. So that there is little change in efficiency between load and 25% overload and to have the maximum efficiency as near to the full load as possible. From the curves it is observed that is certain value of current is required even when output is zero. The motor input under no-load conditions goes to meet the various losses, occurring within the machine. As compared to other motors a shunt motor is said to have a lowest starting torque. But this should not be taken off mean that is shunt motor is incapable of starting heavy load. Actually it means that series and compound motor as capable of starting heavy load with les excess of current inputs over normal values then the shunt motor and the consequently the depreciation on the motor will be relatively less. Procedure:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram. 2. The DPST switch is closed and the starter handle is slowly moved from OFF to ON
position. 3. The machine is brought up to rated speed by adjusting the field rheostat after which
its position is not changed. 4. The no load speed, no load current and no load voltage of the motor are noted. 5. The motor is gradually loaded by tightening the belt on the brake drum. 6. The motor is loaded in steps such that in each step, the load current is increased by 1
Amps. 7. In each step, all the meter readings and belt tensions are noted. Also, speed is
measured using tachometer. 8. The motor is loaded upto 125% of full load current. 9. After completion of the experiment, the load on the motor is released by loosening the
belt on the brake drum. 10. The motor is stopped by opening the DPST switch. 11. Calculations are made as shown in model calculations and various performance
characteristic curves are drawn

Precautions: 1. The DPST switch must be kept at open position. 2. Make sure that the starter handle is in OFF position. 3. The motor field rheostat should be kept at minimum resistance position at the time of starting. 4. At the time of starting, there should not be any load connected to motor. 5. While running on load, the brake drum is cooled by pouring water inside the brake drum.
Theory: The drop in speed with increased load is much prominent in series motor than in a shunt motor hence a series motor is not suitable for application requiring a substantially constant speed. For a given current input a starting torque developed by a series motor is greater than that developed by a shunt motor. Hence series motors are used where huge starting torques are necessary that means for cranes and traction purpose. In addition to huge starting torque there is another unique characteristic of series motor which makes this especially desirable for traction work that means when a load comes on a series motor it response by decreasing its speed and supplies the increased torque with a small increase in current. On the other hand a shunt motor under the same condition would hold its speed nearly constant and would supply the required increased torque with a large increase of input current. Procedure:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram. 2. The DPST switch is closed and the starter handle is slowly moved from OFF to ON position. 3. The machine is brought up to rated speed by adjusting the field rheostat after which its position is not changed. 4. The no load speed, no load current and no load voltage of the motor are noted. 5. The motor is gradually loaded by tightening the belt on the brake drum. 6. The motor is loaded in steps such that in each step, the load current is increased by 1 A. 7. In each step, all the meter readings and belt tensions are noted. Also, speed is measured using tachometer. 8. The motor is loaded upto 125% of full load current. 9. After completion of the experiment, the load on the motor is released by loosening the belt on the brake drum. 10. The motor is stopped by opening the DPST switch. 11.

From the above equation it is clear that the induced emf is directly propositional to the field current when speed maintained constant,. The plot between the induced emf and the field current is known as opsh The induced emf when the field current is zero is known as residual voltage.

3. The motor field rheostat should be kept at minimum resistance position at the time of arting.
4 The armature rheostat should be kept at maximum resistance position. Theory: Flux Control method:
The speed of the DC motor is inversely propositional to the flux per pole, when the arma re voltage is kept co stant. By decrea ng the flux the speed can be increased and vice versa. Hence the main flux of field control method the flux of a DC motor can be changed y changing field current with help of a shunt field rheostat. Since shunt field current is

Precautions:
1. The TPST switch must be kept at open position at the time of starting. 2. At the time of starting, there should not be any load connected to motor. 3. The Star-Delta starter must be in OFF position.
Procedure:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram. 2. The TPST switch is closed and the motor is started using Star-Delta starter. 3. The No-Load meter readings and speed are noted. 4. The load is increased gradually and for each load, the corresponding readings and
speed are noted. 5. The above procedure is repeated till the current reaches slightly above the rated
current. 6. The load is reduced to zero and TPST switch is opened.

Precautions:
1. The DPST switch must be kept at open position. 2. At the time of starting, there should not be any load connected to motor.
Procedure:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram. 2. The DPST switch is closed. 3. The autotransformer is adjusted to get rated voltage and corresponding no load
readings are noted down. 4. Gradually increase the load and for each load the corresponding meter readings
are tabulated. Circuit diagram:
