Study Of Differences Between Motors In Series Compared To Motors In Shunt

Abstract

This study aims to compare series-connected DC motors with shunt-connected DC motors. A DC motor is an electrical machine that converts direct current electrical power into mechanical power. Commonly used DC motors rely on the power generated by the magnetic field of the motor. In this experiment, series DC motors and shunt DC motors are tested in terms of motor speed based on torque values, with varying torque values applied. The current and speed values of both types of motors are recorded and analyzed. The analysis of speed, current in the motor, output power, and motor efficiency compared to the torque of each type of motor can be used to understand and compare these two types of motor connections.
