Speed Control of DC Motor with High Accuracy
Abstract: The aim of developing this project is to control the speed of DC motor. The main advantage in using a DC motor is that the speed-torque relationship can be varied to almost any useful form. To achieve the speed control an electronic technique called pulse width modulation (PWM) is used which generates high and low pulses. These pulses vary the speed in the motor. For the generation of these pulses …
