As I said, I dont vouch for the accuracy of what
I found out. I do note however, that one advantage
of the shunt wound is that you can control the shunt
instead of the armature and thereby use a ca 10 or 20
times smaller control device. I appreciate your
commments and realize that all of the early development of
the shunt wound motor DID use resistors (in the
smaller shunt circuit).<br>I understand that a more ideal
shunt wound sometimes used was to have a number of taps
off the field winding and utilize those taps by
switching without using any other controller. I would like
to take apart an ADC series motor sometime and try
to make that. Although I understand circuits I have
not worked with motors and dont have your experience,
maybe that's not possible........
