Transient Analysis of a DC Series Motor (Linear Versus Nonlinear Models)

The paper deals with the transient analysis of a dc series motor. The analysis includes starting, load changing, and braking. Three models were considered: linear, nonlinear, and nonlinear with armature reaction. The results show a big difference in the transient response for these models and indicate the necessity of using a nonlinear model for accurate simulation of the series motor. The analysis was performed with the aid of the SUPER SCEPTRE computer program.
