Due to the effect of armature reaction in DC machine, the flux per pole and generated voltage ______ and ________ respectively.(a) Increases, decreases(b) Decreases, decreases(c) Decreases, increases(d) Increases, increasesThe question was asked in final exam.This intriguing question originated from Armature Reaction -1 in section Armature Reaction of DC Machines |

Answer» CORRECT option is (b) Decreases, decreases The explanation is: The nature of armature reaction in a dc machine is cross-magnetizing with its axis (stationary) along the q-axis (at 90° ELECT. to the main pole axis). It causes no change in flux/pole if the iron is unsaturated but causes REDUCTION in flux/pole (demagnetizing effect) in presence of iron SATURATION. |
