Which characteristic makes a series wound motor suitable for starting?

  • A.High efficiency, which allows the battery to deliver the required power without an excessive drop in its voltage
  • B.Maximum torque at zero speed
  • C.Constant speed under varying load, which ensures that the engine is cranked at the same rate whatever its condition
  • D.Low current draw

Answer: B

Field current and armature current are the same, so torque rises with the square of the current and is greatest when stalled. Efficiency is actually poor, which is acceptable for a duty lasting a few seconds. The torque characteristic is what matters. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb.
