ABSTRACT
DC motors are widely used in industries because of its versatile characteristics and because of power electronics devices its controlling is becoming sophisticated and precise, but on the other hand because of the power electronics devices power factor and total harmonics distortion problem is becoming more prominent. In this paper, DC motor control methodology was discussed.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
DC drives are DC motor speed control systems. Since the speed of a DC motor is directly proportional to armature voltage and inversely proportional to motor flux (which is a function of field current), either armature voltage or field current can be used to control speed
Because of low cost, less complex control structure and wide range of speed and torque, DC motor are popular in industry. Available methods of speed control of DC drives are field control, armature control and armature resistance control methods.
Speed of a DC motor can be controlled easily in both the ranges above and below the base speed. Most of the time, DC motors are customized at the time of installation as per the need which makes them irreplaceable. Armature voltage control method of speed control of DC drive is popularly used in which controlled rectifier or chopper are involved, though due to power electronics elements, an undesirable nonlinear torque speed characteristics are observed
The speed of dc motor is directly proportional to the supply voltage, if we reduce the supply voltage from 12V to 6V or the frequency
- OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
The objective of this work is to design a device that provides variable speed to a dc motor
- SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The only really satisfactory way of obtaining the variable-voltage d.c. supply needed for speed control of an industrial d.c. motor was to generate it with a d.c. generator. The generator was driven at fixed speed by an induction motor, and the field of the generator was varied in order to vary the generated voltage.
The motor/generator (MG) set could be sited remote from the d.c. motor, and multi-drive sites (e.g. steelworks) would have large rooms full of MG sets, one for each variable-speed motor on the plant.
For motors up to a few kilowatts the armature converter can be supplied from either single-phase or three-phase mains, but for larger motors three-phase is always used. Thyristor or diode rectifier can used to supply the field of the motor: the power is much less than the armature power, so the supply is often single-phase
It is accepted practice for motors supplied for use with thyristor drives to have laminated construction, but older motors often have solid poles and/or frames, and these will not always work satisfactorily with a rectifier supply. It is also the norm for drive motors to be supplied with an attached ‘blower’ motor as standard. This provides continuous through ventilation and allows the motor to operate continuously at full torque even down to the lowest speeds without overheating.
Low power control circuits are used to monitor the principal variables of interest (usually motor current and speed), and to generate appropriate firing pulses so that the motor maintains constant speed despite variations in the load.
1.3 PROBLEM OF THE PROJECT
Drawback of this method of dc motor speed control is that they are not able to control the motor speed smoothly at lower levels, and as the desired speed is decreased, the torque of the motor also decreases proportionately. Due to this, at any unpredictable point the motor may just halt very abruptly. Also, during power ON, the motor may just not start up at lower speed settings and may require an initial boost by increasing the setting. Such situations are pretty undesirable and do not constitute an ideal speed control.
1.4 APPLICATION OF THE PROJECT
This device is mostly use in controlling the movement and speed of other devices in industries such as in conveyors, Lathe Machines, Centrifugal Pumps, Fans, Blowers, Conveyors, Lifts, Weaving Machine, Spinning machines, etc.
1.5 PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
The purpose of a motor speed control is to take a signal representing the demanded speed and drive the motor at a variable speed.
1.6 ADVANTAGES OF THE PROJECT
This work is a Simple control of motor speed, it has:
- High reliability and
- Low initial cost of production
