Observation and Discussion: As the torque load increasing, armature current, output power and efficiency increasing and speed decreasing. When the load is increased more than the induced torque, its internal generated voltage drops, so the armature current in the motor increases. As the armature current rises, the induced torque in the motor increases. This induced torque will equal the load torque at a lower mechanical speed of rotation. The efficiency of the shunt-wound motor keeps increasing until it reaches the rated load. From there, as the load is increased further, the efficiency will start to decrease.

Further discussion and conclusion: From the experiment, when IA increases torque will increase as well with the change in flux. When the load on the shaft of the motor increases, the load torque will exceed the induced torque and the motor will start to slow down.

Observation and Discussion: The speed of the motor will decrease with increasing exciting/field current. If the field current increases, the flux increases with it. An increase in flux causes an instantaneous increase in the internal generated voltage, which causes a large decrease in the machines armature current. As such, the induced torque reduces and thus the motor slows down.
