Why interpoles are tapered in a DC machine?(a) Simpler design(b) Reduction in the weight(c) Increase in acceleration of commutation(d) Cannot be determinedThis question was posed to me in an interview for internship.Question is taken from Commutation Process topic in portion Commutation Process & Excitation Methods of DC Machines |

Answer» CORRECT choice is (c) Increase in acceleration of commutation To explain: To speed up the commutation process, the reactance VOLTAGE must be neutralized by injecting a SUITABLE polarity dynamical (speed) voltage into the commutating coil. In order that this injection is restricted to commutating coils, narrow interpoles are provided in the INTERPOLAR region. |
