It is possible for some shunt DC motors to reach a runaway condition as a result of flux weakening, where the speed of the motor just keeps increasing until the machine is disconnected from the power line or until it destroys itself.
Would someone pls enlighten me why, when the speed of a motor increase, the motor load increases?
How the increased load will result in more flux weakening?
