Armature Reaction:
1. Demagnetizing component – armature reaction component which is in the same
phase with the main field flux. The direction is opposite to the direction of the main
field flux, resulting to the reduction of the effect of the maintained flux.
2. Cross-magnetizing or distorting component - armature reaction component which
is at right angle to the main field flux. This component crosses the main field flux.
Remedies for Neutralizing Armature Reaction
1. Increasing the length of the air gap
2. providing the machine with a compensating winding
3. Using commutating poles
4. reducing the cross-section of the pole faces.
Compensating winding – function is to neutralize the cross-magnetizing effect of the armature
reaction. Usually used in large DC machine which are subjected to large fluctuation in load.
Commutation –the process of current collection by the brush with respect to the changes
which takes place in a coil during the period of short-circuit by a brush.
1. Resistance commutation – replacing the low resisarbon brushes.tance copper
brushes with comparatively high resistance c
2. e.m.f commutation – method in which an arrangement is made to neutralize the
reactance voltage by producing a reversing e.m.f. in the short circuited coil under
the icommutation.
a. by giving the brush a forward lead sufficient enough to bring the shortcircuited coil under the influence of next pole of opposite polarity
b. by using interpoles or compoles.
Advantages of Carbon Brushes:
1. They have high contact resistance which is useful for having good communication.
2. They lubricate and polish the commutator as it rotates.
3. In the event of sparking, carbon brushes will damage the
commutator less in comparison to copper brushes.
Disadvantage of Carbon Brushes:
a) Due to their high contact resistance, a loss of approximately 2 V is caused. Hence they
are not much suitable for small machines where this voltage forms an appreciable
percentage loss.
b) Because of the above loss, the commutator has to be made somewhat larger than with
copper brushes so as to dissipate heat efficiently without greater rise of temperature.
c) Owing to their lower current density (about 7-8 A/cm2 as compared to 25-30 A/cm2 for
copper brushes) large holders are required.
