Summary
[edit]Illustration Description
[edit]Figure 303 -- Commutator brush adjustment for self-induction
- For convenience an electric current is considered to have weight and hence possessing the property of inertia. The current then during commutation cannot be instantly brought to rest and started in the opposite direction, but these changes must be brought about gradually by an opposing force.
- Hence by advancing the brushes beyond the neutral plane as shown in this illustration, commutation takes place with the short-circuited coil cutting the lines of force so as to induce a current in the opposite direction. This opposes the motion of the current in the short circuited coil, brings it to rest, and starts it in the opposite direction, thus preventing sparks at the brush.
