Which of the following will decrease when the supply voltage of a D.C motor is increased?

Which of the following will decrease when the supply voltage of a D.C motor is increased?

Right Answer is:

Full-Load Current

SOLUTION

As we know that T ∝ Ia

  • Therefore increase in load on the motor demands more torque from the machine, consecutively the motor requires more current for driving the load it is subjected to.
  • When there is no load on the motor, the motor takes less current for its operation since load torque is less armature torque is less.
  • The power output of the motor remains the same and thus the full load current is reduced when the voltage is increased to maintain constant power.
