What happens when the load is removed from a series motor?

What occurs if the load is removed from an operating series DC motor? It will stop running.

What would happen if the load was lost while running a series connected DC motor?

In this case the motor will accelerate and run away until the fuses blow. Similar to a DC series motor when the load is disconnected from the shaft. There is enough torque produced due to remnant flux in the field and a large armature current to accelerate the motor.

What happens when load is suddenly thrown off?

series-wound motor, suddenly unloaded, will accelerate – its armature’s back EMF will rise and increase its effective impedance, so cuts the current flowing through the field windings connected in series, and decreases the magnetic flux through the armature.

What will happen if the field of the DC shunt motor is accidentally removed?

If field winding is disconnected accidentally, the speed would dangerously increase in order to maintain the back emf of the motor.

Why does Series motor start with load?

At the starting of the motor there is no back emf, so large current current flows cause high starting torque. This starting torque leads to very fast acceleration of motor if shaft is not connected to any load. This fast acceleration cause motor to damage. So series motor are always started with load.

Why should a series wound motor never be disconnected from a load?

A series motor should never be started at no load. With no mechanical load on the series motor, the current is low, the counter-EMF produced by the field winding is weak, and so the armature must turn faster to produce sufficient counter-EMF to balance the supply voltage. The motor can be damaged by overspeed.

Why does a series motor run away?

With no mechanical load on the series motor, the current is low, the counter-Electro motive force produced by the field winding is weak, and so the armature must turn faster to produce sufficient counter-EMF to balance the supply voltage. The motor can be damaged by overspeed. This is called a runaway condition.

What will happen if the DC series motor is started at no load?

Therefore if the DC Series Motor is started at No Load then the speed of DC Series Motor will become dangerously high which will definitely damage the DC Series Motor. In view of this, DC Series Motor shall always be started and operated under load mechanically coupled with it. If any query, please write in comment box.

What happens if the motor speed up to its no load speed?

The motor will speed up to its no-load speed, which may damage the motor. At no-load, the load is actually whatever friction is in the motor such as from bearings, brushes, and air resistance. This friction mostly heats the motor.

What happens to the armature current when a DC motor is disconnected?

Similar to a DC series motor when the load is disconnected from the shaft. There is enough torque produced due to remnant flux in the field and a large armature current to accelerate the motor. If there is a large load it will decelerate but the armature current will rise to Varm/Ra.

What happens when the load is disconnected from the shaft?

Similar to a DC series motor when the load is disconnected from the shaft. There is enough torque produced due to remnant flux in the field and a large armature current to accelerate the motor.
