Justify a DC shunt generator is self protecting from short circuits?
That's good to know. Can a DC shunt generator also be used as a motor and how does that work?
Yes, a DC shunt generator can be used as a motor. The principle is the same as that for a generator, but in reverse. Instead of the generator providing the electrical energy to create motion, the motor consumes electrical energy to create motion.
