A shunt dc motor has quite different characteristics from a series motor. Wired in series, the same current passes through the armature and the field winding and it is most unlikely that a shunt motor would have a field winding that is suitable for this.

Therefore a shunt motor cannot be wired as a series motor in general because its field winding is designed for only a small current.

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).


Why the armature voltage E changes when the field rheostat is varied?

This depends on how the motor and wiring. You'll need to provide more information. Series / compound / shunt / differential / self or separately excited / is the rheostat in parallel or series to the field / is the rheostat on the shunt field or series field (if compound)


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


Why speed regulation does not apply in dc series motor?

A series motor can run away and reach a high speed on no-load, which happens because it accelerates until the back emf generated in the rotor is nearly equal to the supply voltage. On no-load the current and therefore the field are both small, so the motor speed has to rise to equalise the generated voltage.

Why speed is decreased when field current increases in dc motor?

Because with more field, the armature produces the same voltage at less speed. The voltage generated by the motor must always be less than the supply voltage. A motor that is driven faster than it wants to go becomes a generator.


Why does the speed of the DC series motor rise to a run away condition if full voltage is applied while there is no load?

At no load, the speed of a series motor rises to a run-away condition if the full voltage is applied because the applied voltage appears directly at the terminals of the motor and drives it to a run-away condition since speed is proportional to the voltage.


What is the working principle of a DC shunt motor?

To ensure that the Lathe machine's motor working properly, DC motor starter is added in which it used to protect motor against damage from: • short-circuit, • long term overload, • excessive starting current, and yet to made the operating speed of motor easily to be control by operator. During starting, the motor is not turning, hence there is no internal voltage .The internal resistance is very low and thus the current flow through is very high. This condition may cause damage to the motor Hence, a staring resistor is added in which connect in series with the armature to limit the current flow until the internal voltage of motor is increasing to do the limiting. In order to prevent losses as the speed of the motor is build up; the starting resistor should be removed


What motors is used in railway engines for traction?

dc series motor :A series-wound DC motor has a low resistance field and armature circuit. Because of this, when voltage is applied to it, the current is high. (Ohms Law: current = voltage/resistance). The advantage of high current is that the magnetic fields inside the motor are strong, producing high torque (turning force), so it is ideal for starting a train. The disadvantage is that the current flowing into the motor has to be limited, otherwise the supply could be overloaded and/or the motor and its cabling could be damaged.


How do you drop the voltage of a 12v dc motor to slow it down?

You can use a DC motor speed controller with pulse width modulation (PWM) to regulate the voltage supplied to the motor, thus slowing it down. By adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal, you can effectively control the speed of the motor while maintaining a constant voltage input. Another option is to use a resistor in series with the motor to reduce the voltage, but this method is less efficient and may cause power loss and heating issues.


What is the difference between field current and voltage?

Field Current in a DC Motor is the flow of electrons through the field circuit by a field controller. The flux of the motor, that with the armature current generates torque, is directly proportional to the field current. Field Voltage is the electrical potential energy applied on the field circuit by a field controller. Legacy Field Controllers controlled the field voltage. Using I=V/Z (Z=R+iX) the field current is then indirectly controlled. Due to the heat generated by E=i2 R t in the motor, the resistance R would decrease, increasing the field current and therefore changing the base speed of the motor and disturbing the control. Newer field controllers control the field current eliminating this problem
