A universal motor has high starting torque and variable speed characteristics because it is ______

A universal motor has high starting torque and variable speed characteristics because it is ______

Right Answer is:

Series wound

SOLUTION

Universal motors are generally series wound (armature and field winding are in series), and hence produce high starting torque. So, universal motors are generally built into the device they are meant to drive as they have variable speed characteristics. Most of the universal motors are designed to operate at higher speeds, exceeding 3500 rpm.
