Answer Posted / sharan dilip

dc shunt motor are never used for traction.
it has drooping characteristics of Torque Vs Speed hence dc
shunt motor is not employed.
The characteristics of dc series motor suits best for that
application. its better if you observe the characteristics
of dc series motor.
