A cumulatively compounded dc motor has a characteristic that lies

  • A.below that of the series machine at every load
  • B.exactly on top of the shunt machine's characteristic
  • C.between those of the shunt and the series machine
  • D.above that of the shunt machine at every load

Answer: C

Correct answer: between those of the shunt and the series machine

A cumulative compound machine has a shunt field that fixes the no-load speed and a series field that strengthens the flux as load comes on. It therefore has a better starting torque than a shunt machine and a greater speed droop, but it will not run away on no load as a series machine does, because the shunt field holds the flux up. The result is a characteristic lying between the two, which suits presses, shears and rolling mills.
