What is the function of the field discharge resistor?

What will be an ideal response?


The function of the field discharge resistor is to limit the amount of induced voltage when the motor is started and limit the amount of induced voltage caused by the collapsing magnetic field when the motor is stopped and the excitation current is disconnected.
