The commutating zone of a dc machine is the region in which

  • A.a coil is short-circuited by a brush
  • B.the flux density in the air gap is at its greatest
  • C.the armature conductors carry no current at all
  • D.the field winding is wound onto the pole shoe

Answer: A

Correct answer: a coil is short-circuited by a brush

The commutating zone is the angular region in which a brush spans two adjacent segments, short-circuiting the coil between them while its current reverses. It lies on the magnetic neutral axis, where the main field flux is nominally zero, so that no unwanted emf is induced during the reversal. Interpoles are placed there precisely to induce a controlled emf that cancels the reactance voltage and drives the reversal to completion.
