Armature Reaction, Compensation, and Induced Voltage

Learn about armature reaction, compensation, and induced voltage in relation to AC/DC Motor theory.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of DC motor components and review of the lesson, Introduction to DC Motor Theory, is recommended.

Description

The eighth lesson in the iKNOW AC/DC Motor Theory Library, this lesson demonstrates armature reaction, compensation, and induced voltage.

Objectives

Explain how armature reaction shifts the neutral plane in a DC motor. Explain how armature reaction affects motor operation. Explain what measures will correct armature reaction. List the requirements for induced voltage in a motor. Explain counter-EMF.
