The armature reaction is the interaction between armature flux and field flux when current is introduced to a dc motor. It results in a cross-magnetizing effect and a demagnetizing effect.

What is the difference between armature reaction and armature reactance?

armature reactant means loss in armature associated with inductive properties of the coil, while armature reaction include losses due to magnetizing component of current flowing through armature.


How do commutating field windings cope with the effect of armature reaction?

Commutating field windings are connected in series with the armature windings so that the current flowing in the coils is always equal to the armature current. The number of turns in the commutating field windings are also equal to the number of armature turns. This means that the field strength of the commutating windings and the field strength of the armature are always equal. A DC motor is constructed so that these two fields of equal strength oppose one another, they therefore cancel one another out. The main field is now unaffected by armature reaction.


Difference between 12volt armature and 24 volt armature?

The main difference between a 12-volt armature and a 24-volt armature is the voltage rating at which they operate. A 12-volt armature is designed to run on a 12-volt electrical system, while a 24-volt armature is designed for a 24-volt electrical system. This difference determines the power and speed capabilities of the armature when used in electrical devices.


What are the three quantities that may be considered as parameters in order to change the speed of a dc motors?

What is difference between d.c genrator and motor?

GENERATOR:converts mechanical energy to electrical energy.It works on flemings right hand rule.It works on the princple that an EMF is induced when a changing magnetic field links with the conductor. This emf is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic field linking the conductor.MOTOR:converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.works on flemings left hand rule.It works on the princple that a mechanical force is experienced by the current carrying conductor when placed in magnetic field.

What are the effect of armature reaction in DC machine and how the armature reaction is minimise?

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.


Armature reaction in a DC generator?

ARMATURE REACTION in DC MachineAll current-carrying conductors produce magnetic fields. The magnetic field produced by current in the armature of a dc generator affects the flux pattern and distorts the main field. This distortion causes a shift in the neutral plane, which affects commutation. This change in the neutral plane and the reaction of the magnetic field is called armature reaction.


What is the use of interpoles in dc machine?

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.


What is the purpose of Inter-pole fitted in a DC generator?

to chancel the effect of the armature reaction.


What is mean by armature reaction?

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.


What is commutation in DC machines?

It is the process of conversion of generated ac voltage into the armature of a dc generator to dc voltage at the terminal of the dc generator by use of pair of brushes and commutator. OR It is the process of conversion of given dc voltage at the terminal of the dc motor to ac voltage in the armature windings in a dc motor by use of pair of brushes and commutator.


What is armature reaction in dc motor?

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


What is a compound dc generator?

generators are machines that convert machanical energy to electrical energy and could be AC or DC. if in a DC generator has it field armature connection in both series and parallel its said to be compound dc generator.


How does voltage commutation work in DC machine?

In voltage commutation process, the introduction of interpoles between main poles compensate armature mmf and reduces the effect of armature reaction.


Why are the compensating winding used in dc motor?

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.
