Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

Due to armature reaction in a DC motor

  • the leading pole tips are magnetically weakened.
  • the trailing pole tips are magnetically weakened.
  • the magnetic flux is restored by moving the MNA towards the GNA.

Afshinarabi asking:

Due to armature reaction in a DC motor ,the leading pole tips are magnetically weakened .the armature flux opposes the main field flux ate leading tip and aids it at the trailing tip :due to magnetic saturation ,the net effect is a reduction in flux at the leading tip overall demagnetization.

Strictly speaking, B is correct. In a DC motor armature reaction strengthens the leading pole tip and weakens the trailing one; what you described is the generator case, where the polarity of the armature current is reversed.
