A dc series motor is well suited to

  • A.traction and crane hoisting duty
  • B.driving a centrifugal fan at constant speed
  • C.a lathe requiring a steady spindle speed
  • D.a machine tool feed axis requiring position control

Answer: A

Correct answer: traction and crane hoisting duty

Traction and hoisting need very high torque at starting and can accept, indeed prefer, a speed that falls as the load rises. The series motor gives exactly that: torque proportional to the square of the current at starting, and a steeply drooping speed characteristic that limits the power drawn on a heavy load. What it cannot do is hold a steady speed, which rules it out of the other three duties.
