Terminal Characteristics Studies of a MATLAB Simulink-Based Model of Shunt DC Motor

Abstract

This paper comprehensively investigates Shunt DC motors, using MATLAB/Simulink for modeling and simulation. The emphasis lies in understanding the magnetization curves, terminal characteristics, and speed control methods inherent to these motors. The simulation results encompass the analysis of the magnetization curve, terminal characteristics, and the consequential effects of speed control methods on motor performance. The outcomes affirm the reliability and versatility of shunt DC motors, providing valuable insights for the broader understanding of electromechanical systems.
