Where diverters are used?(a) In shunt motors(b) In series motors(c) In both motors(d) All other motors except shunt and series motorsI have been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.My question is taken from Speed Control Using Field Control of Series Motor topic in chapter DC Motors of DC Machines

Answer»

Right option is (b) In series motors

To elaborate: Diverters are used in series motors for SPEED CONTROL, they are not used in SHUNT motors. Since, shunt field WINDING RESISTANCE is very high, if we connect a diverter across shunt field winding, total current will flow through diverter and it will almost short circuit the shunt field winding. This will increase the motor speed to a very high value.
