Differences between a shunt field coil and a series field winding
1 answer
A shunt field coil is a coil of wire connected in parallel with the armature winding of a DC motor. It is used to create a magnetic field that is constant regardless of the load on the motor. A series field winding is a coil of wire connected in series with the armature winding of a DC motor. It is used to create a magnetic field that is proportional to the load on the motor.
