Question

Which motor is used to drive the constant speed lathe?

A.

DC shunt motor

B.

DC series motor

C.

Cumulative compound motor

D.

Differential compound motor

Correct option is A


A DC shunt motor is used to drive a constant speed lathe. DC shunt motors are the most preferred DC motors for constant speed applications. 
Explanation:
· DC shunt motors are constant speed motors that maintain a nearly constant speed from no load to full load. 
· The torque of a DC shunt motor varies linearly with the current. 
· DC shunt motors are used in many applications that require a consistent speed, including lathes, fans, blowers, and pumps.
