LOW COST DIGITAL STARTER WITH SPEED CONTROL OF DC SHUNT MOTOR
Author(s): Chidambaram .S, Dinesh Babu .P, Basheer Ahamed Munavary .S
Abstract: In engineering academic institutions, the DC shunt motor is started by conventional starters using
rheostat as a current limiting device along with some protective devices such as No Volt relay and
over load relay in the form of electromagnet. This type of starters are often suffered by mechanical
failure which leads to malfunction itself and speed control is also implemented by current limiting
device called rheostat. Sometimes the movable metal contact of rheostat refuses to move itself and
suppose that a power failure occurs, manual operation must be needed for positioning the movable
contact as such in initial conditions immediately. The usage of resistive element in both starting
and speed control results in ohmic losses in the form of heat. This project proposal imposes that
the above said drawbacks can be eliminated by low cost Digital starter with speed control of DC
shunt motor using ARDUINO along with buck converters.
