What happens if you short the shunt windings of a motor?

Answer:If the shunt winding is open the motor won't start, but if the shunt open while the motor is running, the motor will keep on running as if nothing went wrong, except if the wire of the winding get maniacally between the stator and the fields the motor can be damaged beyond repair. But normally the shunt windings is done with very thick conductors, so the chance that the shunt will go open is zero.
