Explain the necessity of starter on a DC motor.

Explanation of Solution
A starter is an electrical device used to start and accelerate a motor. It is used to limit the inrush current.
Consider the equation of armature current in a DC motor as follows:
Here,
When a motor is started, the armature is stationary at the moment and no counter EMF will be generated. Therefore,
As the counter emf is zero, equation (1) becomes as follows:
Typically, a motor armature resistance is very low. From equation (2), the armature current is inversely proportional to the armature resistance where the armature current is high at the starting of a motor. This high current can create damage to the windings, commutator, and brushes.
Therefore, a starter is used to limit the excessive flow of current and prevent damage to the motor due to the lack of a counter emf and inductive reactance.
Conclusion:
Thus, the necessity of starter on a DC motor is explained.

Included in the circuit are mechanical and auxiliary contact interlocking. Also included are a forward overtravel limit switch to stop the motor in forward and a reverse overtravel limit switch to stop the motor in reverse. Overload protection is common to both forward and reverse directions. Complete the wiring diagram based on the line diagram.

The channel introduces no distortion, but attenuates the signal by 20 dB and has a bandwidth of 2.4 kHz. The channel noise is AWGN with a power spectral density of 10-14 watts per Hertz (W/Hz). Design the optimum transmitting and receiving filters, and determine the required transmit power.arrow_forward

Assuming M-ary signaling, determine the range of acceptable values of M, and the resulting bit error rate.arrow_forwardAssume a JFET device with VGS(0) = -1.3 and ipss = 20 mA. Design a self-biased (Fig. 2) JFET common-source amplifier with the gain of -2 and a DC biasing that allows the largest swing in ip. Note that you can choose Vcc to arrive at a desired RD to meet the gain requirement. Since you are designing for a given gain, you may have to check to see if JFET is biased correctly. (Hint: First find Rs for correct VGs and then use the gain to compute RD. Finally, use RD and Rs to determine Vec). Assume that the amplifier is to interface a source that expects a load of 50 2. Also, assume that the amplifier circuit is AC coupled at both ends with 3 dB corner frequency of 15 kHz.arrow_forwardEXAMPLE 6.7 Consider an M-ary system with the number of symbols M=16, and the roll-off factor a= Discuss this M-ary system, vis-à-vis the corresponding binary system, for various scenarios.
