This paper gives the simple analytical condition for calculating the f
ield forcing coefficient in a two-zone dc. drive, obtained on the basi
s of an analysis of field weakening and strengthening processes. The r
equired field forcing coefficient depends on two generalized factors:
the ratio of the electromagnetic time constant to the base (mechanical
) time constant and the equivalent regarding torque. When it is imposs
ible to obtain this coefficient, the reduction in quick-response is ev
aluated. In this case the increase in the duration of transient proces
ses with field strengthening may be equal to three base time constants
.
