A dc motor's speed regulation is defined as

  • A.the change of speed produced by a given change of field current
  • B.the time taken for the machine to reach its rated speed
  • C.the no-load speed less the full-load speed, as a fraction of full load
  • D.the ratio of the largest speed to the smallest the machine can reach

Answer: C

Correct answer: the no-load speed less the full-load speed, as a fraction of full load

Speed regulation is

\[ \text{regulation} = \frac{N_{nl} - N_{fl}}{N_{fl}} \times 100\% \]

and it measures how much the speed droops as load is applied. A shunt motor manages a few per cent, a series motor a great deal more. It describes the machine’s inherent behaviour, not the range over which it can be controlled, which is a separate specification.
