Speed/field current relationship of a dc machine

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the speed-field current relationship in DC machines, specifically noting that with a constant armature voltage, the field current decreases exponentially as speed increases. This phenomenon is attributed to the inductance of the windings, which significantly influences impedance at higher speeds. Understanding this relationship is crucial for optimizing the performance of DC machines.

Im having trouble explaining this relationship...from my graph i know that if armature voltage is held constant then the field current will decrease exponentially for increasing speed. But why?

The windings have inductance and as you increase the speed the more that inductance plays a role in the impedance.
