In resistance commutation method we add resistance between __________________(a) Brushes and external circuit(b) Commutator and armature winding(c) At field winding(d) Commutator and brushThe question was posed to me in my homework.Question is from Commutation Process -1 in chapter Commutation Process & Excitation Methods of DC Machines

Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (d) Commutator and brush

The explanation: High contact resistance between commutator segments and BRUSHES, achieved by using carbon brushes, adds resistance to the CIRCUIT of the commutating coil thereby REDUCING the time constant (L/R) of the current transient (ic(t)), helping it to change faster in the desired direction.
