What is the purpose of armature voltage control during the starting of a DC motor?
What is the purpose of armature voltage control during the starting of a DC motor?
- To reduce the back emf during starting
- To limit the motor current to a safe value by applying voltage gradually (correct)
- To increase the motor speed during starting
- To prevent sparking at the commutator during starting
What happens if a DC motor is started with full supply voltage across its terminals?
What happens if a DC motor is started with full supply voltage across its terminals?
- The motor will not start at all
- A very high current will flow, which may damage the motor (correct)
- The motor will start smoothly without any issues
- The motor will experience a decrease in speed
