Speed variation rate
In the speed control of a motor, the difference Δω between command value ωC and actual value ω, divided by the command value ωC, is referred to as the speed variation rate and given by:
whereRa= Resistance of armature winding
ΔT= Size of torque variation
A = Controller’s amplification gain
KE = Back-emf constant of the motor
KG = Back-emf constant of the tachometer used in the feedback loop
