A dc series motor has an armature current of 10 A at full load. The motor terminal voltage is 300 V. The armature and field resistances are 2 ? and 3 ?, respectively. The motor speed at full load is 250 rpm. Calculate the starting torque of the motor.

What will be an ideal response?




Note the very high starting torque for a series motor. Compare this torque with the

typical torque generated by dc motors of similar ratings. This is why the series

motors should not be started on a light load.
