The armature torque of the DC shunt motor is proportional to(a) Field flux only(b) Armature current only(c) Field flux and armature current(d) Field currentThe question was asked during a job interview.My enquiry is from Operating Characteristics of DC Shunt Motor in portion Characteristics of DC Motors of DC Machines

Answer»

The correct OPTION is (b) Armature current only

Easy explanation: Torque of the DC shunt motor is directly proportional to the armature current. It’s almost a STRAIGHT line if effect of armature reaction is NEGLECTED. If armature reaction is taken in consideration then torque will increase but non-linearly with armature current.
