A compound dc motor has

  • A.two armature windings sharing the same commutator and brushes
  • B.no field winding at all
  • C.a field winding fed from an entirely separate converter
  • D.both a series and a shunt field winding

Answer: D

Correct answer: both a series and a shunt field winding

A compound machine carries a shunt field of many fine turns across the armature and a series field of few heavy turns carrying the load current. Connected cumulatively, the series field strengthens the flux as load rises, giving a large starting torque with the shunt field still preventing runaway at no load - the combination of series and shunt virtues that makes the compound motor suit presses, shears and rolling mills.
