In a DC shunt motor if field current is decreased then the speed of the motor is
Right Answer is:
Increase
SOLUTION
- This is known as field weakening or constant power mode of operation.
- When the field winding current reduced the Field’s magnetic strength reduced which in turn reduced the back EMF and at the same time the rotor current increases
- Due to reduced magnetic field pole intensity rotor starts rotating faster till it develops the same Back EMF which should be equal to its original value.
- So in simple words when shunt field current If decreases, φ decreases, and the speed rises as speed is inversely proportional to flux.
