INTRODUCTION
AC motor is known as a varying-speed motor and has a very high no-load speed as can be seen in
Torque v/s Speed Characteristics. The speed regulation is very much higher than for a shunt or compound
motor. At standstill, the counter emf is zero, and the current is high-as is the field flux. So that the motor
accelerates rapidly. As the motor accelerates, the counter emf increases with the speed. Now, in the case of a
shunt motor, the counter emf increases directly in proportion to the speed because the flux remains constant.
However in the case of a series motor, as the speed increases, the increased counter emf decreases the armature
current, and this decreased armature current in turn decreases the field excitation. Therefore, as the motor
accelerates, the weakening field makes it necessary that the armature rotate still faster to generate sufficient
counter emf to limit the armature current. At light loads, the motor literally races; the armature races to
develop enough counter emf to limit the armature current and as the armature current is limited, the field is
weakened, thus tending to decrease the counter emf, so that the motor has to run still faster. Large dc motors
will usually race to destruction if not loaded, but fractional horsepower dc series motors, as well as universal
motors, generally are designed to withstand these high speeds.
