In a differentially compounded D.C. motor, if shunt field suddenly opens____________?

Correct answer: A. the motor will first stop and then run in opposite direction as series motor

  • A. the motor will first stop and then run in opposite direction as series motor
  • B. the motor will work as series motor and run at slow speed in the same direction
  • C. the motor will work as series motor and run at high speed in the same direction
  • D. the motor will not work and come to stop

Explanation

Opening the shunt field removes the main flux, leaving the series field whose flux is opposite to the original shunt-field flux in a differentially compounded motor. The motor therefore stops momentarily and then tends to run in the opposite direction as a series motor.
