What will happen if DC motor is used without starter?(a) Heavy sparking at brushes(b) It’ll start smoothly(c) Will not start at all(d) Depends on loadI got this question in examination.This key question is from Starting of DC Motors in chapter DC Motors of DC Machines

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) Heavy sparking at BRUSHES

For explanation I WOULD say: It would CAUSE intolerably heavy sparking at the brushes which may DESTROY the commutator and brush-gear. Sudden development of large torque will cause mechanical shock to the shaft, reducing its life. Such heavy CURRENT cannot be generally permitted to be drawn from the source of supply.
