The armature of a 270V dc shunt motor has a resistance of 0.20 ohm. If the armature current is not to exceed 85 amp, calculate: (a) The resistance that must be inserted in series with the armature at the instant of starting. (b) The value to which this resistance can be reduced when the armature accelerates until the counter emf becomes 171 volts. (c) The armature current at the instant of starting if no resistance is inserted in the armature circuit.

The armature of a 270V dc shunt motor has a resistance of 0.20 ohm. If the armature
current is not to exceed 85 amp, calculate:
(a) The resistance that must be inserted in series with the armature at the instant of
starting.
(b) The value to which this resistance can be reduced when the armature accelerates
until the counter emf becomes 171 volts.
(c) The armature current at the instant of starting if no resistance is inserted in the
armature circuit.
(d) What is the consequence of starting the motor without the inserted resistance?
