Speed control of DC Motors

Below base speed: Armature voltage control (retain maximum torque capability)

Above base speed: Field weakening (i.e. flux reduced) (Trading-off torque capability for speed)

Armature and field control

In practice, for speeds less than the base speed (rated), the armature current and field currents are maintained at fixed values (hence constant torque operation), and the armature voltage controls the speed.

For speeds higher than the base speed, the armature voltage is maintained at rated value, and the field current is varied to control the speed. However, this way the power developed Pd is maintained constant. This mode is referred to as “field weakening” operation.
