🔍 Key Concepts

• Compound wound DC motor: interaction of shunt field, series field, and armature at startup • Drum-type motor controller: purpose of the "start" position in limiting inrush current • Effect of full line voltage vs. reduced voltage on armature current and starting torque

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to armature current if you apply full line voltage to a stopped DC motor with very low starting back EMF. • Which part of the compound motor (shunt field, series field, armature) do we normally want at full strength right away for proper torque and speed control? • How does the controller protect the motor and supply system during the initial "start" position?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which winding (shunt field vs. armature/series field) is usually energized at full line voltage immediately to establish magnetic field strength. • Consider which circuit(s) typically receive reduced voltage or resistance in series during start to limit starting current. • Make sure your choice matches the controller’s primary goal at start: limit inrush current while still developing adequate starting torque.
