Q.

The speed of a dc shunt motor can be raised above its rated value by 

  • AInserting an additional resistance in the armature circuit 
  • BInserting an additional resistance in the field circuit 
  • CReducing the applied voltage
  • DUsing either of the above methods
Correct Answer : (B)

Inserting an additional resistance in the field circuit 

Hints :

The speed of a dc shunt motor can be raised above its rated value by inserting an additional resistance in the field circuit.

Previous

A dc shunt motor is driving a constant torque load with normal excitation. If the filed current is halved then the motor will run at 

Next

A dc shunt motor is driving a mechanical load at rated voltage with normal excitation. If the load torque is increased to double of the normal one, the speed of the motor will
