Which danger does a series motor present if run with no load?

  • A.None
  • B.It draws an excessive current, which overheats the windings and eventually destroys the insulation within them
  • C.It can accelerate to destruction
  • D.It stalls immediately, since a series motor requires a load in order to develop any torque at its armature

Answer: C

With no load the field weakens as the current falls and the speed rises without limit, which can burst the armature. In a starter the pinion disengages before that can happen. It is why a series motor is never bench run uncoupled at full voltage. Naming what changes and what stays the same is the reliable route through questions of this shape. A symptom that appears under one condition and not another is what narrows the diagnosis quickly. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a formula, is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
