The plane through the axis, along which no e.m. f. is induced in the armature conductors, is known as magnetic neutral plane. Vector OA represents main m.m.f., both in il agnitude as well as direction, producing the main field nux. ‘ Current flowing in the armature conductors creates a_magnetizing effect or m.m-f., that acts at right angles tothe main field Nox, is Magnetising action of the armature cOrrent is as cross magnenisarion—te—fig, 2.2 the distribution of flux due to current in dtmiatute conductors fs shown, when the field coils are not energised and the direction of the current in dtmature conductors is the same as it would actually be whea the generator is supplying load, which can be determined by applying.

Cross-magnetisation is present only when armature current is flowing and the amount of cross magnetization so produced is Proportional to the amount of current flowing through the armature conductors, 42 D, C. MACHINES in fig, 2.3 distribution of resultant field, formed by the simultaneous action of the main field windings and the field produced by the cross-magnetizing action of the armature current when the armature is rotating in clockwise direction, is shown. When the generator is supplying load, the main m.m.f. is down-wards represented by vector OA and m.mf. pro- duced due to armature current is from right to left represented by vector OB, The resultant man.isOC.. The magnetic neutral plane (m.n.p.) which is always perpendicular to the resultant m.m.f, OC, thus will be shifted round in the direction of rotation. The magnitude of the shift obviously depends upon the length of the vector OB and therefore on the magni- tude of the armature current. Each of the lines of force produced by the armature crosses the air gap twice and it is observed that the field strength in the gap is weakened under the leading pole tips and strengthened under the trailing pole tips. With no current im the armature the flux density in the air gap is practically uniform, as represented by curve I in fig. 2.4. With the curreat flowing in armature cenductors the flux density varies as shown by the ordinates of curve I in fig, 2.4, Fig. 2.4 Fig The magnetic neutral axis will be shifted along the magnetic neutral plane, the bru will also be shified so as to be along the m.np. i have sparkles commutation ants instance, the brushes are not shifted to be along m.n.p. and are left along g.n.p. the coils being short-circuited by the brushes would be cutting flux and would, therefore, have an emf, generated in them causing an arc to be formed as the commutator segments move under the brushes. However, as the load on the generator changes, the amount of distortion of ficld or shifting of the magnetic neutral plane varies. Therefore; the effect-of the action of the armature-m.m.f, makes necessary a shifting of.the brushes with changes in load to_secure sparkless commuts ~ . ee ARMATURE REACTION a Due to shifting of brushes (let through an angle 6) so as to be_along m.n.p. distribution of current in armature conductors is changed. * Some conductors, which were earlier under the influence of S-pole, come under the influence of N-pole and vice-versa. The distribution of the current in the armature conductors when placed along m.n.p. is shown in fig. 2.5. Now the total armature m.m.f. lies along the m.np., and is no longer at right angles to the main field. The armature m.m
