Controlling Speed by Adjusting Armature Voltage
For a constant torque, the current is constant, and the first term of the equation decreases with the decrease of the voltageRa + R f + Radd Vt ω= = ω0 ω KCI a KCThe voltage control can be done by any technique described for shunt motor drives The voltage should be kept at or below the rated voltage: speed reduction below the rated 6 speed

Speed control by adding a resistance in the field circuit: This is the same for the armature circuit.
Controlling Speed by Adjusting Field CurrentThe flux control method makes a motor operate at a speed higher than its rated speed. By current divider rule R fadd If = Ia R fadd + R f If and Ia are different now
Electrical Drives and motor
Controlling Speed by Adjusting Field CurrentA reduction of Radd results in current reduction of the field and an increase in the motor speed. This method is suitable for speed increase. This type of speed control must be performed with care so the current of the motor is not excessive

Solid-State ControlSolid-State control or used of the converter To control the voltage in the armature circuit In some cases to control the field voltage High EfficiencyThe power source can be DC or AC 1) DC separately excited or shunt motor 2) DC series Motor10
Basic configuration of DC motor with a converter
The armature circuit is connected to the to the converter, which is fed from an AC source. The field circuit is excited from the AC source through a full wave rectifier circuit .

The load is a DC motor
The converter could be a simple SCR trigged by a control circuit (not shown).
Vt = VS (uα u β ) + Ea [1 (uα u β )] Vt = (Vmax sin ωt )(uα u β ) + Ea [1 (uα u β )]11

When the cathode is negatively charged relative to the anode, no current flows until a pulse is applied to the gate. Then the SCR begins to conduct, and continues to conduct until the voltage between the cathode and anode is reversed or reduced below a certain threshold value. Using this type of thyristor, large amo
unts of power can be switched or controlled using a small triggering current or voltage.12

Thyristor- A thyristor is a four-layer semiconductor device, consisting of alternating P type and N type materials (PNPN). A thyristor usually has three electrodes: an anode, a cathode, and a gate (control electrode). The most common type of thyristor is the silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR). When the cathode is negatively charged relative to the anode, no current flows until a pulse is applied to the gate. Then the SCR begins to conduct, and continues to conduct until the voltage between the cathode and anode is reversed or reduced below a certain threshold value. Using this type of thyristor, large amounts of power can be switched or controlled using a small triggering current or voltage. Thyristors are used in motor speed controls13

Thyristor driveA thyristor drive is a motor and controller combination including the drive shaft, where Ac supply current is regulated by a thyristor phase control to provide variable voltage to a DC motor. Thyristor drives are very simple and were first introduced in the 1960s. Now they are replaced by chopper drives for high performance systems and inverters for high reliability with AC motors. They are still employed in very high power applications, such as locomotives, where the high power capability of the thyristor and the simplicity of the design can make them a more attractive proposition than transistor based controllers.
