Compound wound dc motors

Designed with both a series and shunt field winding, the compound motor is used where the primary load requirement is heavy starting torque, and adjustable speed is not required. (See Paralleling) Also used for parallel operation. The load must tolerate a speed variation from full-load to no-load.

Industrial machine applications include large planers, boring mills, punch presses, elevators, and small hoists.
