The current feedback in a dc drive is normally obtained from

  • A.the field winding
  • B.the firing angle commanded by the control unit of the converter
  • C.a shunt or a current transducer in the armature circuit
  • D.a tachogenerator coupled to the shaft of the machine

Answer: C

Correct answer: a shunt or a current transducer in the armature circuit

The inner loop of a dc drive controls armature current, so that current must be measured - by the voltage across a low-value shunt resistor, or by a Hall effect or current transformer device that also provides isolation. Since torque is proportional to current at constant flux, this signal is effectively a torque feedback, and clamping its reference is how the drive limits torque and protects the machine.
