Shaft Torque (Tsh)
The whole of the armature torque, as calculated above, is not
available for doing useful work, because certain percentage of it is
required for supplying iron and friction losses in the motor.
The torque which is available for doing useful work is known as shaft
torque, Tsh.
It is so called because it is available at the shaft.
If Tsh is in N-m and N is in rps, the motor output is given by

It is seen from above that increase in flux would decrease the speed
but increase the armature torque. It cannot be so because torque
always tends to produce motion. If torque increases, motor speed
must increase. The apparent inconsistency between the above two
equations can be reconciled in the following way:
It is imperative that the field circuit of the motor never be opened while power is
applied to the motor.
If the field circuit is opened, the flux will drop to practically zero.
In this situation the speed would increase to an extremely high value.
The centrifugal force created at the high speed may cause the windings to be pulled
out of the slots or may cause the copper commutator segments to buckle, resulting
in damage to the motor.
Proper use of overload devices would protect the motor.
Since the reduced flux reduces the counter-emf, a large current would be drawn by
the motor.
This excessive current would operate the overload device, disconnect the motor
from the supply, and thus protect the motor.
