Which of the following method will completely neutralize the armature reaction in a DC machine?(a) Only compensating winding(b) Only interpoles(c) Compensating winding and interpoles(d) Cannot be determinedThis question was posed to me in a job interview.Enquiry is from Ways to Reduce Effects of Armature Reaction in section Armature Reaction of DC Machines

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) Compensating winding and INTERPOLES

To explain I WOULD say: To neutralize the CROSS magnetizing effect of armature reaction, a compensating winding is used. The compensating windings consist of a series of COILS embedded in SLOTS of the pole faces. Interpoles are designed to overcome the effects of the armature reactance and the self-induction of the machine.
