A dc shunt motor is well suited to

  • A.arc welding where a falling characteristic is wanted
  • B.lathes, fans and pumps needing a steady speed
  • C.railway traction needing high torque at starting
  • D.crane hoisting where the load varies widely

Answer: B

Correct answer: lathes, fans and pumps needing a steady speed

The shunt motor’s speed falls only a few per cent from no load to full load, so it approximates a constant-speed machine and suits any duty where the speed must not wander with the load. Traction and hoisting need the series machine’s starting torque, and welding needs a differential compound machine’s falling characteristic.
