If pole arc is less than pole pitch, a compensating winding will have ampere-turns _________ (compare to peak ampere turns).(a) Less(b) Equal(c) More(d) Can’t be specifiedI have been asked this question in a job interview.Question is from Ways to Reduce Effects of Armature Reaction topic in portion Armature Reaction of DC Machines

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) Less

The explanation: The ampere-turns REQUIRED for compensating winding in a DC machine is ATcw /POLE = ATA (peak) *(pole arc/pole pitch) = [IaZ/(AP2)] * (pole arc/pole pitch). THUS, if compensating winding ampere turns are less then, pole arc is smaller than pole pitch and vice-versa.
