Abstract—an ac series motor rotates in the same direction regardless of the polarity of the supply and also operates on a single-phase supply. The experiment mainly focuses to investigate the relationship between the speed, current, power factor and efficiency of an AC Series Motor and the torque produced by the motor. When the load torque on the shaft is less than the locked rotor torque, then the motor will start to run same as the concept in previous experiments. After the experiment, the observed and computed values shows that supply current is increasing as the torque increases, the input and output also increases as well as the volt-amperes, power factor, and the efficiency while the torque is inversely proportional to the speed.
Keywords— AC Series Motor, speed, power factor, torque
I. Methodology
The experiment consist only of two parts: is to investigate the relationship between the speed, current, power factor and efficiency of an AC Series Motor and the torque produced by the motor.
In this experiment we used FH2 MkIV Test Bed, FH110 A.C Series Motor and white torque disks, Instrumentation frame, V3 A.C. voltmeter, A.C. ammeter, and W1 A.C. wattmeter. The materials used had an initial setup, the FH2 MkIV Test Bed must have a speed range of 7200 rev/min, the
