While estimating the overhead lines, the first and last pole is always earth connected and after every 3rd electrical pole, the fourth pole is earthed. Therefore, the approximate number of required ground set = 4
When the field winding is connected in series with the armature winding while supplying the load then the generator is called a series generator. Current Relations As all armature, field, and load are in series they carry the same current. IL = Ise = Ia
The commutator is a feature of d.c.motors. But a.c. motors having wound rotor with brushes and commutator arrangements, are called commutator motors that work on single-phase a.c. supply. The commutator arrangement present in these motors is similar to the armature of a d.c. motor.E.g. of single-phase commutator type induction motor is Repulsion Motor Repulsion-Induction Motor AC Series Motor Universal Motor
The strength of a magnetic field is specified by the magnetic induction B or by the magnetic field strength H. A current I through a long, straight wire produces a magnetic field with strength H = I/2πr at a distance r from the wire. Given H = 1 A/m I = 10 A H = I/2πr 1 = 10/2πr r = 10/2π
