DIRECT CURRENT MOTORS
Direct current motors are classified (see Table 1) under three headings, depending on the type of winding: shunt wound, compound.wound, and series wound.
Shunt Wound motors, being suitable for application to fans, centrifugal pumps, or similar equipment where the amount of starting torque required is relatively small, are used for the majority of direct current applications. in the field of . heating, ventilating, and air conditioning. They may be used on reciprocating pumps and compressors if started under unloaded conditions.
Without auxiliary control the shunt wound motor is designated as constant speed.* Fig. 1 illustrates the characteristics of direct current motors, showing speed, horsepower, and torque as a function of current. The speed regulation* of small size shunt wound motors from % hp to 5 hp is 12 per cent as specified by the NEMA while on larger motors it is 10 per cent.
