Exact purpose of compensating winding in a DC generator is _________(a) Mainly to reduce the eddy currents by providing local short-circuits(b) To provide path for the circulation of cooling air(c) To neutralise the cross-magnetising effect of the armature reaction(d) Cannot be determinedI have been asked this question in an internship interview.I would like to ask this question from Ways to Reduce Effects of Armature Reaction topic in portion Armature Reaction of DC Machines

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) To NEUTRALISE the cross-magnetising effect of the armature reaction

For explanation I would SAY: Armature reaction can be reduced with the help of compensating winding. To neutralize the cross-magnetizing effect of armature reaction in a DC machine, a compensating winding is used. The compensating windings CONSIST of a SERIES of COILS embedded in slots of the pole faces.
