DC shunt motor

The DC shunt motor is a machine for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy (rotary motion). Its armature and excitation windings are connected in parallel.

Terminals L+ and L- are used to connected supply power. If L+ is connected to positive potential and L- is connected to ground, the motor turns in the direction specified in the parameters. Terminal 1 is a rotary terminal mechanism. A motor test bench or a further motor can be connected here, for example. (The direction of rotation is usually reversed via the connection. This can be selected with the connecting cable.)

Idling speed of the motor can be indicated as a ratio to nominal rotary speed with the parameter Idle revolution : Rated speed. The absolute value of idling speed is determined by multiplying nominal speed by the specified ratio (e.g. nominal rotary speed 2000 rpm * 1.1 = idling speed 2200 rpm).

Winding resistances are calculated automatically based on the entered parameters.
