True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
 

 1. 

Series field windings are marked F1 and F2 in the terminal connection box.
 

 2. 

Shunt field windings exhibit a much higher resistance than the series field windings.
 

 3. 

Frogleg wound armatures are most often used in small machines.
 

 4. 

Compound motors contain both a series and shunt field.
 

 5. 

Compound motors generally employ a field loss relay (FLR) that is intended to disconnect the motor from the power line in the event that shunt field current should be interrupted or drop below an acceptable level.
 

Completion
Complete each statement.
 

 6. 

The most common way of reversing the direction of rotation for a direct current motor is to reverse the direction of the current flow though the ____________________.
 

 

 7. 

Shunt motors are often called ____________________ motors.
 

 

 8. 

The differential in speed from no load to full load is referred to as ____________________.
 

 

 9. 

When full line voltage is applied to both the armature and shunt field, the motor is said to operate at ____________________ speed.
 

 

 10. 

____________________ is the term used to indicate the relative strength of the series and shunt fields.
