Transient Response Characteristics of A DC Motor
1.0 Introduction
According to Say and Taylor, an electric motor serves as an electro-mechanical device that converts the input (electrical energy) to produce an output (rotational/mechanical energy). Its principle of operation lies in the interaction of various magnetic and electric fields. In this laboratory experiment, the transient response of the DC motor was examined when a step input was both applied and removed. A further analysis was taken to examine the effects of incorporating a flywheel on the behavior of the motor. Lastly, a graphical illustration of speed against time was obtained from the digital oscilloscope.
1.1 Objective
To obtain and understand the transient response characteristics of a DC motor with and without an inertial load.
