SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the rotational speed in a DC machine, specifically addressing the importance of determining the torque constant (Kt) as it varies with the excitation voltage (Vexc). The participant initially approached the problem incorrectly but corrected their method by first calculating Kt and then using this value to find the new rotational speed while maintaining constant torque. This highlights the critical relationship between excitation voltage and torque in DC machines.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of DC machine principles
  • Knowledge of torque constant (Kt) calculations
  • Familiarity with excitation voltage (Vexc) effects
  • Basic skills in rotational dynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the relationship between torque and rotational speed in DC motors
  • Learn about the impact of varying excitation voltage on DC machine performance
  • Explore advanced calculations for torque constant (Kt) in different operating conditions
  • Investigate methods for optimizing DC machine efficiency
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, students studying motor control, and professionals involved in the design and analysis of DC machines will benefit from this discussion.

Homework Statement
rotational speed in DC machine
Relevant Equations
I tried to do the last point but I can't find the result. I calculated, knowing the new value of Vexc, the new value of Iexc and from this the new value of the flux. then with the inverse formula of the twisting torque I obtained the new speed which however comes out about 1920 rpm
I don't understand where I went wrong

Welcome to PF.

Can you show your calculations so that we can check them? Thanks.

I solved the exercise, I had the wrong approach. I had to first calculate Kt which varies with Vexc and then from this new value of Kt, knowing that the torque remains the same, calculate the new rotation speed. Thanks anyway
