Electrical Machines
In dc machines, the field system has to be provided on stator unlike synchronous machines Where in it could be on any member, because

 it gives more uniform air-gap flux distribution
 it reduces field structure iron losses
 commutator action is not possible otherwise
 dc machines are comparatively low rating machines.

Consider the following statements about commutating poles which are fitted on most large dc Shunt motors: 1. The commutating poles are placed in the geometric neutral plane and their number is usually Equal to the number of main poles 2. The winding on the commutating poles is connected in series with the shunt-field winding on the main poles 3. The polarity of the commutating pole must be that of the next pole further ahead 4. The commutating poles neutralize the reactance voltage produced in the coil undergoing Commutation. Of these statements,

 1, 2 and 4 are correct
 1 and 4 are correct
 1, 2 and 3 are correct
 2, 3 and 4 are correct
