Briefly describe the effects of a reduction of a load on the speed of a DC series motor.

What will be an ideal response?


If the motor is running with a mechanical load and the load is suddenly reduced, the motor speed increases. The increase in speed creates more CEMF in the armature, and the circuit current is reduced. The circuit current is the same current in both the stator field and the rotor field, therefore squaring the effect of the current reduction. The torque that is produced drops off dramatically.
