Which D.C. motor will be preferred for machine tools ?
Correct answer: B. Shunt motor
- A. Series motor
- B. Shunt motor
- C. Cumulative compound motor
- D. Differential compound motor
Explanation
Machine tools generally need nearly constant speed despite load changes, which is the main characteristic of a shunt motor. Series motors are unsuitable because their speed changes substantially with load.
