The speed control of a dc series motor using an integral-cycle controlled triac together with a bridge rectifier is studied. The triac is connected in series with one of the motor ac supply lines. Computer results for the motor dynamic and steady-state performance characteristics are presented. The saturation in the magnetic circuit, the iron losses, the mechanical losses and the variation of the motor self inductance with the armature current are considered in the digital simulation of the motor model. The validity of the mathematical model is checked experimentally. A microprocessor aided measuring circuit is used to measure the motor performances.
