A 5-kW, 220-V shunt motor has an armature resistance of 0.15 ? and a field-circuit resistance of 100 ?. The motor delivers rated output power at rated voltage when its armature current is 20 A. When the motor is operating at rated voltage, the speed is observed to be 1000 r/min when the machine is loaded such that the armature current is 15 A. In order to protect both the motor and the dc supply under starting conditions, an external...
