A shunt motor is a type of DC motor that has a parallel connection between the field winding and the armature winding. This means that the field winding and the armature winding are connected across the same voltage source, and the current flowing through the field winding is the same as the current flowing through the armature winding. The shunt motor has good speed regulation, which means that the speed of the motor remains relatively constant over a wide range of load conditions.
A series motor is a type of DC motor that has a series connection between the field winding and the armature winding. This means that the field winding and the armature winding are connected in such a way that the current flowing through the field winding is the same as the current flowing through the armature winding. The series motor has a high starting torque, which means that it can produce a large amount of torque at low speeds. This makes the series motor suitable for applications where a high starting torque is required, such as in hoists and cranes. However, the speed of a series motor is not easily controlled, so it is not suitable for applications where precise speed control is required.
