Series motors have the highest starting torque. The torque is proportional to the square of the current, and the starting current is so high it has to be limited by a resistor called a rheostat.

Series motos are used mainly on trams and trolley buses.

Why is the starting current high in DC motor?

The starting current is high because when the motor is not rotating no back-emf is generated, leaving the starting current to be determined by the armature resistance, which should be low.

What are the advantages of induction motor?

1. Induction motor has high starting torque, therefore use for operate pump which need high starting torque. 2. Induction motor operate on variable speed. 3. It can be used as generator when speed of motor is higher than synchronous speed.

Why the series motor is started with some initial load?

In dc motors Speed is directly proportional to back emf and inversely proportional to flux i.e N∝(Eb/φ) In series motor back emf is practically constant. So if we start motor without any load Flux will be small and so speed will be very high. if we start motor without any load it will gain very high speed and may get damaged due to centrifugal forces. Series motor have very high starting torque and used where high starting torque is required.

What happens to a shunt motor when the starting torque required is too high at start-up?

If the starting torque required is too high for a shunt motor, it could lead to stalling or jerky operation at startup. This can cause overheating and damage to the motor windings due to increased current draw. It is important to match the motor's torque capabilities with the load requirements to prevent these issues.
