The starting resistance of a DC shunt motor is generally ______(a) low(b) Around 0.5 kΩ(c) Around 5 kΩ(d) Infinitely largeThis question was addressed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.The question is from Starting of DC Motors topic in chapter DC Motors of DC Machines

Answer»

Right answer is (a) low

Best explanation: Starting resistance of a DC shunt motor and DC COMPOUND motor is low. Well, that’s the reason why we USE starters in a DC motors, in order to LIMIT the armature CURRENT flowing through the armature and to PROTECT machine circuitry.
