D.C. motor is to a drive a load which is almost nil for certain part of the load cycle and peak value for short duration. We will select this______________?
Correct answer: C. compound motor
- A. series motor
- B. shunt motor
- C. compound motor
- D. any of the above
Explanation
A compound motor is suitable for a load that varies from nearly zero to a short-duration peak because it combines good no-load speed control with higher starting and overload torque. A series motor is unsafe at nearly no load because it may overspeed.
