TITLE: Operation of a DC Shunt Moto in Clockwise and Counter Clockwise

Rotation
EQUIPMENTS: Shunt Wound DC Machine
PROCEDURE / STEPS:

1. Shunt Wound machines are prepared by the lecturer.

2. Connections are made from the power supply to the machines
(Refer to machine notes for correct Voltage and Current levels)
3. Windage connections on each machines are made (refer to Diagram
1a)
4. Check the connections between power supply and machine as well as
winding connections.
5. Switch on the power and run the machine.
6. Troubleshoot if there is a problem
7. Switch off power and remove the connections when finish.
8. Repeat with the next motor setup (refer to Diagram 1b)
