Which is the DC motor whose speed is independent of armature current?

Which is the DC motor whose speed is independent of armature current? Correct Answer Shunt motor

  • In dc shunt motor flux produced by field winding is proportional to field current. Here the input voltage is constant so field current and flux is also constant.
  • So dc shunt motor is also called a constant flux or constant speed motor.
  • Hence the speed of DC shunt motor is independent of armature current.
