Question

Which of the following statements related to the speed control of DC shunt and series motors is correct?

A.

In series-parallel control, the motors are joined in parallel at lower speeds and series at higher speeds.

B.

In a tapped field control when all the field turns are present in the circuit, the motor runs at the lowest speed.

C.

Field diverters and tapped field control methods are mostly used in DC shunt motors.

D.

In the Rheostatic control methods of shunt motors, the series resistor must be connected between the line and the motor.

Correct option is B

In tapped field control, the field winding is divided into sections, and the number of turns in the field circuit controls the speed. When all the field turns are present, the flux is maximized, and the speed is minimized.
 In a tapped field control for a DC series motor, the speed is controlled by varying the number of turns in the field winding that are active. 
 By using a switch to short-circuit parts of the field winding, the flux is reduced, and consequently, the motor speed increases. 
 When all the field turns are in the circuit, the motor runs at its lowest speed, and by progressively short-circuiting turns, the speed can be increased in steps.
