A drive with a rising motor torque-speed characteristic driving a constant-torque load is

  • A.unstable at that operating point
  • B.stable at that operating point
  • C.neither stable nor unstable
  • D.stable only if the inertia of the drive is sufficiently large

Answer: A

Correct answer: unstable at that operating point

With the load torque constant, \( dT_l/d\omega = 0 \), while the motor torque rises, so \( dT/d\omega > 0 \) and the stability criterion is violated. A small increase in speed raises the motor torque above the unchanged load torque, the drive accelerates further, and the departure grows. A stable intersection needs the motor characteristic to fall with speed - which is exactly what a shunt motor’s droop provides.
