Influence of Selected Parameters of the Motor Controller on the Current Characteristics of the DC Brush Motor Used in the Silesian Greenpower's Vehicle

Abstract

The paper presents tests of the controller created by Silesian Greenpower team for a DC motor carried out on an motor test stand. The main scope of the work was to check how selected parameters of settings affect current characteristics and speed of the motor in order to optimize the efficiency of the chain transmission. Charts of current and revolutions of the Fracmo PM62 motor, a description of the applied testing methodology, photos of the testing process and results of measurements carried out on the test stand have been described in the article. The research has resulted in a comparison of obtained outcomes, summary and presentation of conclusions, which concern practical remarks related to the further development of the control system applied in the Silesian Greenpower's car.
