Is shunt a bypass resistance?

It is the resistance across the cell to invoke a constant draw. This makes the cell work efficiently under ideal conditions. To do it properly new cell management systems measure the temp. and voltage output and put a load on the cell that makes it work best.


Is the dc shunt motor does not have any brushes?

No. A d.c. 'shunt' motor is one whose stator's field windings are connected in parallel with its rotor windings ('shunt' is simply an archic term for 'parallel'); it does not mean that the rotor can function without brushes.


Why wouldn't the shunt resistor in the ammeter protect the ammeter when the ammeter is connected in parallel?

Connecting an ammeter in parallel subjects that ammeter to the full supply voltage. The shunt resistor is not designed to sustain that value of voltage and will burn out. Also, the clue is in the word 'shunt' (which means 'in parallel') which means that the coil will also burn out!


Can a shunt motor be started without residual magnetism?

Yes. The field is provided by the shunt windings, which are connected in parallel with the supply. You may be confusing a motor with a generator, as you cannot start a shunt generatorwithout residual magnetism.


What are the differences of Long shunt vs short shunt generator?

In long shunt the shunt field winding is in parallel to both generator and series field. In short shunt the shunt field is in parallel to generator only.

How is a shunt coil installed?

'Shunt' is an archaic term, meaning 'in parallel with'. So a 'shunt coil' is connected 'in parallel' with... With what, of course, depends upon what sort of device you are talking about. For example the field coil of a d.c. shunt-connected motor has its field winding connected in parallel ('shunt') with the supply.


How you convert galvanometer into ammeter in detail?

By attaching a resistance in parallel connection with the galvanometer. Or when a low resistor connected in parallel with galvanometer ,the galvanometer is converted in ammeter. and the resistor is called shunt resistance.


Why shunt resistance is used ammeter?

A shunt resistance is a low resistance connected parallel to the galvanometer so that a large portion of current passes through the low resistance and a small fraction of current passes through the galvanometer this saves the galvanometer from damage


Why shunt resistance used in ammeter and why is it connected in parallel?

An ammeter's coil requires very little current for full-scale deflection (fsd). So, to measure a current above its fsd value, most of that current must be allowed to bypass the coil. This is achieved by placing a very low value shunt resistance in parallel with the coil ('shunt' is an archaic word for 'parallel').


How is resistivity connected to resistance?

Resistance is connected in parallel with voltmeter or say, voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistance.

What is a DC shunt motor?

A DC shunt motor is a motor using DC supply with the the inductor connected parallel to the armature.


What kind of meter is created when is shunt is added to a galvanometer?

A galvanometer with a low resistance shunt in parallel makes an ammeter.


What is shunt current and a armature current?

The terms 'shunt' and 'armature' apply to a particular type of d.c. motor, in which the field windings are connected in parallel with the armature windings. 'Shunt' is an archaic term for 'parallel', so the term 'shunt', in this context, means that the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature winding. The terms 'shunt current' and 'armature current', then describe the currents flowing in the shunt winding and armature winding, respectively.


How can you convert galvanometer into ammeter?

Since Galvanometer is a very sensitive instrument therefore it can't measure heavy currents. In order to convert a Galvanometer into an Ammeter, a very low resistance known as "shunt" resistance is connected in parallel to Galvanometer. Value of shunt is so adjusted that most of the current passes through the shunt. In this way a Galvanometer is converted into Ammeter and can measure heavy currents without fully deflected.


If additional resistance is connected in parallel with a circuit the supply voltage will decrease?

If additional resistance is connected in parallel with a circuit the supply voltage will decrease?


What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?

No change in supply voltage as additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit.
