D.C. shunt motors are used for driving____________?
Correct answer: D. machine tools
- A. trains
- B. cranes
- C. hoists
- D. machine tools
Explanation
DC shunt motors provide nearly constant speed with good speed regulation, making them suitable for machine tools. Trains, cranes and hoists generally require the high starting torque of series or compound motors.
