Do You Know Armature Reaction?

Answer»

ARMATURE reaction is the effect of magnetic field setup by armature current on the distribution of flux under MAIN poles of a generator. The armature magnetic field has two effects

  • It demagnetizes or weakens the main flux
  • It cross-magnetizes or distorts it.

The FIRST effect leads to REDUCED generated voltage and SECOND to the sparking at the brushes.
