Interpoles are given the same polarity as

  • A.the main pole ahead in the direction of rotation in a generator
  • B.the main pole behind in the direction of rotation in a generator
  • C.the shunt field winding of the machine irrespective of rotation
  • D.no main pole at all

Answer: A

Correct answer: the main pole ahead in the direction of rotation in a generator

The interpole must produce a flux that induces an emf opposing the reactance voltage in the commutating coil, and for a generator that requires the polarity of the main pole next in the direction of rotation. In a motor the rule reverses, which is why a machine that has been reconnected must have its interpole connections checked.
