Modelling of a serial wound DC motor supplied by a semi-controlled rectifier

Abstract

A serial wound DC motor is one of most used electrical machines in a small electrical instruments and home equipments by reason, that its speed is easily controlled by a supply voltage. Suppose that the motor is supplied by a semicontrolled rectifier and operate in open circuit loop. After representing of the mathematical model, a simulation model based on the Matlab-Simulink is derived; this allows for the determination of the waveforms of the speed current and torque of the machine for different state operation. Induced voltage of the rotor is determined as a function of the magnetic core saturation and of the armature reaction.
