LONG-SHUNT COMPOUNT MOTOR

Long Shunt Compound Wound DC Motor

In case of long shunt compound wound DC motor, the shunt field winding is
connected in parallel across the series combination of both the armature and series
field coil, as shown in the diagram below.
Voltage and Current Equation of Long Shunt Compound Wound DC Motor
Let E and Itotal be the total supply voltage and current supplied to the input terminals
of the motor. And Ia, Ise , Ish be the values of current flowing through
armature resistance Ra, series winding resistance Rse and shunt winding resistance
Rsh respectively.
Now we know in shunt motor,

And in series motor

Therefore, the current equation of a compound wound DC motor is given by

And its voltage equation is,

In this type, the shunt field winding is connected across the combination of armature
and the series field winding as shown in the Fig. 1.

Fig. 1 Long shunt compound motor

Let Rse be the resistance of series field and Rsh be the resistance of shunt field
winding. The total current drawn from supply is IL.
So IL = Ise + Ish
But Ise = Ia
.. . IL = Ia+ Ish
And Ish = V/Rsh
And V = Eb + Ia Ra + Ise Rse + Vbrush
But as Ise = Ia ,
.. . V = Eb + Ia (Ra + Rse) + Vbrush
