Abstract
Previously, a dynamic model and a simulation program for series wound DC motors (SWDCM) were developed in MATLAB/Simulink for modelling them in electric vehicles and mechatronic systems. The electromagnetic characteristics of the motor (electric resistances, dynamic inductances), which serve as input parameters of the program, were also measured. Additionally, locked rotor response measurements were performed to test the accuracy of the measured electromagnetic characteristics. This paper presents the experimental procedure and the results of dynamics test measurements that were performed on the same motor, including the procedure for the determination of the necessary input dynamic parameters for the simulation. While the motor spins up from rest, the intensity of the electric current and the angular speed of the rotor are measured. Finally, the simulation and dynamic test results are compared to check the proper operation of the simulation program.
