Because with more field, the armature produces the same voltage at less speed. The voltage generated by the motor must always be less than the supply voltage. A motor that is driven faster than it wants to go becomes a generator.

How speed increases when flux decreases in dc shunt motor?

Increasing flux, torque of the dc motor will be increased and speed of the dc motor will be decreased as speed of the dc motor is inversely proportional to that of the flux and the torque of the dc motor is directly proportional to the flux.


What is the effect of field current on dc motor?

The field current of a dc motor provides the magnetic field that allows the motor to develop a torque when current flows through the armature..


In synchronous motor theory is excitation current the same as field current?

Yes, in synchronous motor theory, excitation current is the same as field current. This current is used to produce the magnetic field in the rotor that interacts with the stator current to generate torque and make the motor operate synchronously.


When resistance decreases what happens to current?

Based on the simplest Electrical Equation V = I * R,(reads: voltage equals current multiplied by resistance)then, rearranged I = V / R .As resistance decreases, current flow proportionately increases


What causes speed drop in motor?

1) If current, at 'on load' condition, reach or cross its rated value, then the speed of the motor will be decreased. 2) If there is any voltage droop occurs in the incoming supply then the speed of the motor will be decreased.


As a motor armature turns faster and faster net current in the motor windings decreases or increases or remains unchanged?

as a motor armature speed increases,the net current in the motor windings decreases due to MAGNETIC DRAG. which is a common phenomenon in the ac machines.


What is the difference between field current and voltage?

Field Current in a DC Motor is the flow of electrons through the field circuit by a field controller. The flux of the motor, that with the armature current generates torque, is directly proportional to the field current. Field Voltage is the electrical potential energy applied on the field circuit by a field controller. Legacy Field Controllers controlled the field voltage. Using I=V/Z (Z=R+iX) the field current is then indirectly controlled. Due to the heat generated by E=i2 R t in the motor, the resistance R would decrease, increasing the field current and therefore changing the base speed of the motor and disturbing the control. Newer field controllers control the field current eliminating this problem


Would it be correct to say with a fixed field voltagethe speed of a shunt motor is proportional to its armature voltage?

With increasing torque load the armature tends to slow down; the motor draws more current to compensate, and if there is armature resistance the back emf generated by the armature falls to allow the increased current to flow, which causes the motor to settle at a lower speed. The mechanical output power is the speed times the torque, and increasing the torque increases the power output provided the speed does not drop much.


How does a high frequency induction motor work?

A high frequency induction motor uses high frequency electrical currents to create a rotating magnetic field in the stator. This rotating field induces currents in the rotor, which causes it to rotate and drive the motor. The higher frequency allows for more precise speed control and efficiency in certain applications.


Why current is supplied to DC motor?

Current is supplied to a DC motor to create a magnetic field that interacts with the stationary magnetic field in the motor, resulting in a force that causes the motor to rotate. The current flowing through the motor's coils generates the electromagnetic force necessary for the motor to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.


What role does the armature do in a DC motor?

One of the role of the armature in the DC motor is to carry the current that is crossing the field. By carrying the current crossing the field, it creates the shaft torque in the rotating machine.


Why is motor current draw lower at full speed?

Because full speed is unloaded. As you load the motor, speed decreases, and slip increases, with an accompanying increase in current.
