Shunt Data for General DC Machines

By option you can insert or remove a shunt from a General DC Machine. If you insert a shunt, it appears in the Project Manager tree under the stator field data.

To insert a shunt:

Right-click on the Field icon under the stator in the project tree to display the drop-down menu.
Click Insert Shunt.

The Shunt icon appears under the Field icon.

To remove an existing shunt:

Right-click on the Field icon under the Stator in the Project Manager tree to display the drop-down menu.
Click Remove Shunt.

The shut is removed from the Project Manager tree.
