Because motor field strength is regulated as a function of the required field strength, the control tends to make the speed of response independent of actual field strength. Also, a feedback signal is provided which is a function of the product of actual field strength and desired armature current, i.e., related to torque, and this controls the speed signal so that the gain of the speed regulating amplifier is inversely proportional to field strength. This allows drive operation at reduced field strength while maintaining the response.Field of SearchArmature or primary currentArmature or primary circuit voltage or terminal or counter e.m.f. voltage Plural, diverse or diversely controlled braking means Including both friction braking "plugging" and/or dynamic braking Friction braking "Plugging" or application of reverse power to motor Dynamic braking Regenerative In series with armature or primary circuit With field or secondary circuit control With braking With braking BATTERY-FED MOTOR SYSTEMS Motor-reversing With running-speed control And braking And acceleration control And acceleration control Plural, diverse or diversely controlled armature windings | |
