 Introduction
In electrical motors, series circuits and
parallel circuits are commonly known as
series and shunt. Therefore, in DC motors the
connections of the field windings, as well as
the armature, can be done parallel which is
known as DC shunt motor. The main
difference between DC series motor as well
as DC shunt motor mainly includes the
construction, operation, and speed
characteristics. This motor gives features like
easy reversing control, speed regulation, and
starting torque is low. Thus, this motor can be
used for belt-driven applications within
automotive as well as industrial applications.
What is a DC Shunt Motor?

A DC shunt motor is a type of self-

excited DC motor, and it is also
known as a shunt wound DC motor.
The field windings in this motor
can be connected in parallel to the
armature winding. So both
windings of this motor will expose
to the equal voltage power supply,
and this motor maintains an
invariable speed with any kind of
load. This motor has a low starting
torque and also runs at a constant
speed.
 Construction &
Working Principle

The DC shunt motor construction is the same as

any type of DC motor. This motor can be
constructed with basic parts like field windings
(stator), a commutator, and an armature (rotor).
The working principle of a DC Shunt Motor is,
whenever a DC motor is turned ON, then DC
flows throughout the stator as well as the rotor.
This current flow will generate two fields namely
the pole as well as the armature.
In the air gap between armature and field shoes,
there are two magnetic fields, and they will
respond with each other for revolving the
armature.
The commutator overturns the armature current
flow direction at ordinary gaps. So the armature
field is repelled with pole field for all time, it
keeps revolving the armature within an equal
direction.
 DC-Shunt
Motor Circuit
Diagram
The DC shunt motor circuit
diagram is shown below, and
the flow of current and
voltage being supplied to 
the motor from the supply
can be given by Itotal & E.
In case of the shunt wound DC
motor, this current supply will
divide into two ways like Ia,& Ish,
where ‘Ia’ will supply throughout
the ‘Ra’ resistance armature
winding. In the same way, ‘Ish’ will
supply through the ‘Rsh’ resistance
field winding.
Therefore, we can write it as Itotal
= Ia + Ish
We know that Ish = E/ Rsh
Otherwise Ia = Itotal- Ish= E/Ra
Generally, when the DC motor is in
a running state & the voltage supply
voltage is stable and the shunt field
current given by
Ish = E/Rsh
But we know that the armature
current is proportional to the field
flux (Ish ∝ Φ). Thus the Φ remains
more otherwise less stable, due to
this reason; a shunt wound DC
motor can be named as a constant
flux motor.
DC Shunt Motor Speed Control
The speed characteristic of a shunt motor is different
compared with a series motor. As a DC Shunt motor attains
its complete speed, then the armature current can be directly
connected to the motor load. When the load is extremely low
within a shunt motor, then the armature current can also be
below. When the DC motor attains its complete speed, then it
remains stable.

The DC shunt motor speed can be controlled very easily. The

speed can be maintained constant until the load changes.
Once the load changes, then the armature tends to delay,
which will result in less back e.m.f. Thus, the DC motor will
draw extra current, this will consequence in enhancing within
torque to gain speed.

So, whenever the load enhances, the net result of load on

speed in a motor is approximately nil. Similarly, once the
load decreases, then the armature achieves speed & produces
extra back e.m.f.

The DC shunt motor speed can be controlled in two ways

-By altering the sum of current flowing through the shunt

windings
-By altering the sum of current flowing through the armature
In general, DC motors appear with a particular rated voltage
& speed in (revolutions per minute. Once this motor
functions under its complete voltage, then the torque will be
reduced.
Brake Test on DC Shunt Motor

The brake test is the one kind of load

test on the dc shunt motor. Generally,
this test can be done for the low-
rated DC machines. The main reason
for doing this test is to identify the
efficiency and also by using this test,
the output of mechanical power can be
calculated & separated the same by
using electrical input. So this is the
reason to calculate the efficiency of the
DC motor, this test is used. Therefore,
this type of test cannot be employed on
superior-rated machines.
Characteristics of DC Shunt
Motor

•This DC motor works at a

fixed speed once the voltage
supply is set.
•This DC motor is upturned by
the turn around the motor
connections like a series motor.
•In this type of DC motor, by a
rising motor current, torque can
be improved without reducing
in speed.
Advantages of Dc shunt motor:

•The power supply of the DC motor

is any way cheap.
•Shunt would motor able to runs at a
predetermined speed.
•The speed of a dc shunt motor is
sufficiently constant.
•Direct current machines can use for
heavy industrial applications where
the torque and speed wider range.
Disadvantages of DC shunt motor:

•Dc motors are unreliable at low-

speed operations.
•The size of Dc motors is large
compared to alternative current
motors.
•The installation of DC machines is
expensive compare with other types
of machines.
•Shunt motor is a constant speed
motor, it would be disadvantages
where it's necessary to operate
under variable speed.
•For the same current input, its
starting torque is not a high as that
of a DC series motor.
DC Shunt Motor Applications

•These motors are used wherever

stable speed is required.
•This kind of DC motor can be
used in Centrifugal Pumps, Lifts,
Weaving Machine, Lathe
Machines, Blowers, Fans,
Conveyors, Spinning machines,
etc.
