Torque of motor varies as the cube of the speed means what?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The torque of a load driven by a 385-V DC shunt motor is directly proportional to the cube of the speed. In the given problem, the motor operates at 51A and requires additional resistance to reduce the speed to 50% of its original value. With an armature circuit resistance of 0.5 ohms and a field-circuit resistance of 35 ohms, the calculation of the necessary resistance to achieve this speed reduction is essential for proper motor control.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of DC shunt motor operation
  • Knowledge of electrical resistance and Ohm's Law
  • Familiarity with torque-speed characteristics
  • Basic skills in circuit analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Calculate the additional resistance needed for speed reduction in DC motors
  • Explore torque-speed curves for different types of DC motors
  • Learn about the effects of armature and field circuit resistances on motor performance
  • Investigate motor control techniques for speed regulation
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, motor control specialists, and anyone involved in the design and analysis of DC motor systems will benefit from this discussion.

is this means that torque is proportional or inversely proportional to the cube of speed

the problem says

The torque of a load driven by a 385-V, Dc shunt motor varies as the cube of the speed. The current taken by the motor is 51A at a certian speed. Calculate the additional resistance to be inserted in series with the armature to reduce the speed to 50 percent of the original value. The armature circuit resistance is 0.5 ohms and the field-circuit resistance is 35 ohms
