Both the supply wires that enter a series motor is the field windings the field is split in two and is connected at the split to the brushes that is connected to the commentator of the armature, so the current pass thru the first half of the field then thru the armature and then thru the other half of the field. With a parallel DC motor the two fields is in series and the two wires is connected to the brushes so is the supply.

Why would you megaohm a motor?

To determine whether there are any electrical shorts among windings, or from windings to case ground.


A 220volts series motor takes 15amperes and runs at 700rpm the armature resistance of the series winding is 0.8 ohms at what speed will it run if resistance is connected in series with supply voltage?

It will run slower because the resistance in series with the motor will take some of the voltage and thereby reduce the current to the armature windings (less magnetic field).


How do you counter the induced voltage spark during the generator?

By creating a rotating electric field. The generator has two main sets of windings - the field windings (the spinning ones on the rotor usually) and the stator windings(the stationary part connected to the grid). The field windings are electrified to create an electromagnet out of the rotor. Spinning the rotor creates a rotating electric field, which induces a voltage on the stator windings.


If you crank the shaft of a dc motor manually will the motor become a dc generator?

It depends on both the wiring of the motor and what if any residual magnetic field remains in the field windings. If there is some residual field, you will get some volts, but not many. If the motor has permanent magnets, it is effectively a dynamo.


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.

What is shunt and series motor?

A series motor is one in which the field windings are in series with the armature windings. So the torque is proportional to the square of the supply current.'Shunt' is an archaic term for 'parallel'. So a shunt motor is one in which the field winding is in parallel with the armature windings. So the torque is proportional to the supply current.


What is interpole winding in DC machine?

For a D.C motor it is the field windings which must always be in series with the armature windings.

Is universal motor type of inductin motor?

No,look at the connection diagram for Universal motor. The Field and the armature windings are connected in series. But, in induction motor, the rotor end terminals are sorted by a kind of rings.That is rotor is apart from the supply.


How do commutating field windings cope with the effect of armature reaction?

Commutating field windings are connected in series with the armature windings so that the current flowing in the coils is always equal to the armature current. The number of turns in the commutating field windings are also equal to the number of armature turns. This means that the field strength of the commutating windings and the field strength of the armature are always equal. A DC motor is constructed so that these two fields of equal strength oppose one another, they therefore cancel one another out. The main field is now unaffected by armature reaction.


How are the series and shunt field windings of the compound wound dc motor connected relative to the armature?

series field in series with the armature shunt in parallel with the voltage supply the shut field increases the strength of the magnetic field with heavy loads to reverse the motors direction the fields remain the same you swap the armature leads


How Synchronous motor work with principal?

A synchronous motor comprises of a stator windings and a rotor with a squirrel cage and inside that is windings(coils). At starting, this motor is an induction motor running with slip. After the rotor has reached a certain speed, a DC current is applied to the windings inside the squirrel cage. A fixed field is induced in these windings. This field locks in with the synchronous rotating magnetic flux of the stator windings. The rotating stator windings then pull the rotor along. The amount of excitation current can be used to control the power factor of the motor, making this a popular type of motor for high power use with a constant mechanical load.


What is the function of the overload protector?

The bimetallic overload protector is mounted in series with the motor windings. Should the current in the motor windings increase to a dangerous value, the heat developed by the passage of the current through the protector will cause it to open. This breaks the circuit to the motor windings and stops the motor before any damage can occur.
