Shunt Field Winding Dc Motor

A shunt generator is a type of direct current electric generator in which field winding and armature winding are connected in parallel and in which the armature supplies both the load current and the field current. The shunt field windings of a dc shunt motor are made of smaller gauge wire but they have many more turns than a series wound dc motor.

This type of motor has good speed regulation even as the load varies but does not have the starting torque of a series dc motor.

Shunt field winding dc motor. The dc shunt wound motor running on direct current has its field windings placed in parallel to the armature. The high number of turns allows a strong magnetic field to be generated but the smaller gauge wires provide a high resistance and limit the current flowing through the shunt coil. Since they are connected in parallel the armature and field windings are exposed to the same supply voltage.

A shunt dc motor connects the armature and field windings in parallel or shunt with a common dc. A direct current dc generator not using a permanent magnet requires a dc field current for excitation. When the armature and field windings are connected in parallel the motor is referred to as a shunt wound dc motor.

Motor for ordinary purposes. A dc shunt motor also known as a shunt wound dc motor is a type of self excited dc motor where the field windings are shunted to or are connected in parallel to the armature winding of the motor. That is the reason behind naming it a dc shunt motor.

In electrical parlance a parallel circuit is referred to as a shunt the parallel connection between the windings means the current supplied to the motor is divided between the armature and the field i total i a i f. Its speed is nearly constantfalling off as the load increases due to resistance drop and armature reaction. In electrical terms parallel is generally denoted as shunt.

The field winding can be separately excited or connected to the same source as the armature. The shunt connected motor offers good speed regulation. In a shunt motor the field is connected in parallel shunt with the armature windings.

In this case the field is in parallel with the armature and the shunt motor is the standard type of dc.
