McqMate

Q.	The starting resistance of a DC shunt motor is generally
A.	low
B.	around 0.5 kΩ
C.	around 5 kΩ
D.	infinitely large
Answer» A. low
Explanation: starting resistance of a dc shunt motor and dc compound motor is low. well, that’s the reason why we use starters in a dc motors, in order to limit the armature current flowing through the armature and to protect machine circuitry.
