INTRODUCTION The shunt motor gets its name from the way it is wired. The field coil is connected in parallel or shunt with the armature. Because both sets of windings are connected in parallel, the same voltage is applied to both of them [1]. Aslam P.

Email: engr.asifakhund@gmail.com It is clear that speed of a shunt motor is sufficiently constant and for the same current input its starting torque is not as high as that of series motor [2]. It is typically used for industrial, adjustable speed applications, such as machine tools winding/unwinding machines. The power supply of a DC motor connects directly to the field of the motor which allows for precise voltage control, speed and torque control applications [3]. A shunt DC motor has good speed regulation even as the load varies. This research will be focused to judge the performance of DC shunt motor by the implementation of different kinds of controllers such as: Proportional (P) Control which removes the delay and provides fast control [4]. Integral (I) Controller eliminates the residual steady- state error that occurs with a pure proportional controller [5]. The IR compensation method is used to provide the speed regulation in DC motor speed controls. IR compensation increases the voltage going to the motor. Current Limiter is one of the very nice features of electronic speed controls. This capability gives the motor/control combination the ability to prevent damage that might otherwise occur if higher values of torque were available [6]. Due to the vital role of DC machine this research focuses on hardware as well as software based studies and analysis of different types of controllers for the speed control and suggest the simple solution.
