in order to reduce armature reaction.
Armature reaction is the interaction between the magnetic flux produced by armature current and that of the main magnetic field in an electric motor or generator.
compensating windings are used to overcome armature reaction
By Using Interpoles (Auxillary Poles).......
Armature reaction is the effect of armature flux on the flux generated by the fied windings.Cross magnetisation and Demagnetising are its consequences.
Armature reaction is effect of armature flux on main field flux. Basically there are two windings in a dc motor - Armature winding (on stator) and field winding (on rotor). When we excite the field winding, it produces a flux which links with the armature. This causes an emf and hence a current in the armature. This current in armature produces another flux which lags the main flux. This is referred to as armature reaction. It has two effects on the machine: 1. Demagnetising effect: It reduces the strength of the main flux. 2. Crossmagnetising effect: Its effect is that it bends/distortes the the main flux line along the conductor
The effect of armature reaction in DC machines can be minimized by using various techniques. One common method is to employ compensating windings, which are placed in the machine to counteract the armature's magnetic field and reduce distortion. Additionally, using interpoles (small auxiliary poles) helps maintain a uniform magnetic field by providing a corrective flux that counteracts armature reaction. Proper design and careful selection of materials can also enhance performance and minimize these effects.
to chancel the effect of the armature reaction.
compensating winding is used for equal load sharing of two generators running in parallel. while interpole winding is used to minimise the effect of armature reaction by supporting the main field.
Armature reaction is the phenomenon in DC machines where the magnetic field produced by the current flowing in the armature windings interacts with the main magnetic field produced by the field windings. This interaction can distort the main magnetic field, causing changes in the machine's performance such as voltage regulation and torque production. Measures such as interpoles or compensating windings are used to counteract the effects of armature reaction in DC machines.
armature reaction means when load is added to the armature then current is passed through armature conductors then in armature creates flux. It is demagnetize and cross magnetize the main field flux. in other ward it is effect of armature field on main field.
Interpoles are similar to the main field poles and located on the yoke between the main field poles. They have windings in series with the armature winding. Interpoles have the function of reducing the armature reaction effect in the commutating zone. They eliminate the need to shift the brush assembly.
