Best Answer

due to its high initial torque value.

the DC series motor is a Constant power motor, equal to the RATED POWER if it has at rated value of the U and I.

Angular velocity=Rated Power/Torque, so

Torque =Rated Power/Angular Velocity

thus, in the start the velocity is zero or near, so, the Torque is infinit or very higt

What is the best type of electric motor for heavy starting loads?

The classic heavy starting load is a tram starting off from stationary, and for this the series-would dc motor is the preferred motor.


Why the series motor is started with some minimum load?

In series motor, At no Load Condition the flow of Armature Current is low, then the Flux is also low. Flux is inversely proportional to speed. If flux is decrease the speed is rapidly increase it spoil the rotor parts...... so SERIES MOTOR is start with LOAD.....


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.


Why should a series motor always start with a load?

In any DC motor the speed depends inversely on the flux. Consider when starting a series motor the current flowing will be high, but the flux that the motor produces will be moderate since the series winding has less number of turns. If u start the motor without load the speed will increase. as speed increases the back emf increases. this decreases the current through the series winding and hence flux decreases and the speed further increases. Theoretically speaking the speed becomes infinite. But practically the motor will accelerate to very high speed , which will damage the motor. But if you start the motor with the load, you are actually reducing the starting speed hence the motor runs safely. Since series motors has this property it is used in trains to pull high load.


What is the nature of load connected across dc motor?

heavy load


Why a DC series motor should never be stared without load?

since torque is proportional to flux and armature current . Flux for dc shunt is constant . torque is proportional to armature current only. And initially armature current is very low hence it cannot be started at load .


Causes for a brand new AC capacitor start motor to overheat and shut off?

Two reasons could be that the motor was wired incorrectly or the load that the motor is driving is too heavy for the HP of the motor.


What motor must be never run without a load connected to them?

DC Series motor should never run without load connected to it because starting torque for DC series motor is infinite and running it on no load will damage the motor due to overspeeding.


Why dc series motor cannot be start without any load?

If a DC series motor is started without load, the armature winding (winding that doesn't spin) current will be at a minimum, resulting in the motor going to maximum speed / runaway, which can cause things to fly apart. As Armature current increases, the speed of the motor will decrease. The armature current will be forced to increase / speed of the motor will be forced to decrease as more and more load is applied.


Can DC series generator start on no load?

yes.it is possible to start dc series generator on no load condition


Why the series motor is started with some initial load?

In dc motors Speed is directly proportional to back emf and inversely proportional to flux i.e N∝(Eb/φ) In series motor back emf is practically constant. So if we start motor without any load Flux will be small and so speed will be very high. if we start motor without any load it will gain very high speed and may get damaged due to centrifugal forces. Series motor have very high starting torque and used where high starting torque is required.
