True or false: armature reaction reduces the total flux of a dc machine.

  • A.False, since armature reaction affects only the neutral axis
  • B.True, slightly, because of saturation at the strengthened pole tip
  • C.False, since the strengthening and weakening cancel exactly
  • D.True, and by a very large amount at any level of load

Answer: B

Equal ampere-turns are added and subtracted at the two tips, but the added ones act on iron nearer saturation and produce less flux than the subtracted ones removed. The effect is small but is what makes the field regulator necessary.
