The reason for providing field winding of DC motor with thick wire is

Right Answer is:

To carry large load current

SOLUTION

  • The use of thick and thin wires in DC machines is to have appropriate resistance.
  • In DC shunt machine thin wire of larger number of turns is used
  • In the series machine, thick wires of smaller turns are used.
  • In the series machine, if you use thick wires the resistance of the wire will be lower(inversely proportional to the area ) and hence larger current will flow as it is directly connected across the supply.
