Best Answer

mechanical characteristics can be drawn between speed and torque

electrical characteristics are

1. Output power vs speed

2. Output power vs input power

3. Output power vs efficiency

4. Output power vs torque

5. Output power vs line current

What is shunt in electrical engineering?

In electrical engineering, shunt means 'parallel'.


What field setting for a dc shunt motor wired in series on high voltage?

A shunt dc motor has quite different characteristics from a series motor. Wired in series, the same current passes through the armature and the field winding and it is most unlikely that a shunt motor would have a field winding that is suitable for this. Therefore a shunt motor cannot be wired as a series motor in general because its field winding is designed for only a small current.


What is DC shunt motor?

A shunt DC motor connects the armature and field windings in parallel or shunt with a common D.C. power source. This type of motor has good speed regulation even as the load varies, but does not have the starting torque of a series DC motor


Why can we start a shunt motor under no load but why can't a series motor?

The torque on a series motor is determined by the square of the armature current and, so, is very large -much larger than that of a shunt motor. Consequently, on starting, with no back-emf being generated, the torque on a series motor can be dangerously high if the machine has no mechanical load.


What happen in shunt motor speed if the resistance is increased?

Its performance becomes worse. The speed will drop more when a mechanical load is put on the shaft.


What is a DC shunt motor?

A DC shunt motor is a motor using DC supply with the the inductor connected parallel to the armature.


Which DC motor is constant speed motor?

Dc shunt motor is constant speed motor.Its speed is constant with armature current.This shunt motor is used in paper mills and drilling machines


What happens if you short the shunt windings of a motor?

Answer:If the shunt winding is open the motor won't start, but if the shunt open while the motor is running, the motor will keep on running as if nothing went wrong, except if the wire of the winding get maniacally between the stator and the fields the motor can be damaged beyond repair. But normally the shunt windings is done with very thick conductors, so the chance that the shunt will go open is zero.


How does a generator differ from electric motor?

A dynamo generator and an electric motor are similar in construction, but work in opposite ways to one another, and have reciprocal purposes. Both contain a central shaft with affixed magnet(s) surrounded by a series of wound coils enclosed by an outer casing having two electrical leads, one live and one neutral. In a dynamo, an outside mechanical force such as the rotation of a cyclist's wheel spins the central shaft and magnets around. The magnetic force pushes and pulls electrons in the outer coils which creates an electric potential between the leads. In a motor, an electric current is fed to the leads which pushes and pulls electrons through the coils. The coils become negatively charged then positively charged, cycling back and forth to the opposing and attracting magnets. This drives the shaft in a circle to power an external mechanical device.
