PT - JOURNAL ARTICLE AU - BALARA, Milan TI - DP - 2009 Jul 1 TA - Trends in education PG - 386--389 VI - 2 IP - 1 IS - 18058949 AB - The speed control system of an externally-excited DC motor without tachogenerator (TG) is actually a discrete control circuit where the motor current is intentionally cut-off so that the induced armature voltage may be sensed. This voltage (proportional to the angular speed of a motor) is stored in analog memory during one sample period and processed by the speed controller. That's how the speed control of a motor without TG is carried out - angular speed is sensed by the motor itself.
