DC Test Rig Propulsion Motor.

Abstract

This project's mission was to design, construct and evaluate two high speed DC propulsion motors with a nominal rating of 10Hp at 6000 rpm and an intermittent rating of 20Hp at 3000 rpm at a motor weight of 95lbs/unit. The motors are designed for use in conjunction with either a conventional DC chopper motor controller, or as dual motor drive in conjunction with a two phase, sequentially switched DC chopper motor controller. The auxiliary shunt field is used to synchronize speed between the two motors and to assist the series field during the regenerative brake mode.
