🔍 Key Concepts

• How a Ward-Leonard DC speed control system changes motor speed • Relationship between armature voltage/current and field strength in a DC motor • What part of the circuit in figure "A" is actually being adjusted by the speed control device

💭 Think About

• Look at where the adjustable speed-control element is drawn in figure "A". Is it in the armature circuit of the DC motor, or in a field circuit? • For a Ward-Leonard system, think about whether the motor’s torque must stay flexible as load changes. Would that require the armature current to stay constant or be allowed to vary? • Ask yourself: if the armature voltage is being changed to control speed, what usually happens to armature current as load on the shaft increases or decreases?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify clearly which field winding (generator or motor) is being controlled by the rheostat labeled speed control • Decide whether the motor armature current can change with load, based on the way the generator feeds it • Confirm whether the motor field in this arrangement is intended to be kept essentially constant or deliberately varied for speed control
