  • Electric Motors
OBS

Series motor. ... if the load is small, the speed may rise to dangerously high values. For this reason we never permit a series motor to operate at no-load. It tends to run away, and the resulting centrifugal forces could tear the windings out of the armature and destroy the machine.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Moteurs électriques
OBS

Moteur série. [...] Il est clair que si la charge mécanique est faible, la vitesse risque d'atteindre des valeurs dangereuses. Pour cette raison, on ne doit jamais permettre à un moteur série de fonctionner à vide. Il a tendance à s'emballer, et les forces centrifuges peuvent arracher les enroulements de l'induit et provoquer la destruction de la machine.
