Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQs
In DC machines, the field-flux axis and armature-mmf axis are respectively along:
- Quadrature axis and direct axis
- Direct axis and indirect axis
- Quadrature axis and interpolar axis
- Direct axis and interpolar axis
Correct answer: 4. Direct axis and interpolar axis
Explanation:
In a DC machine:
- The direct axis is aligned with the armature mmf (magnetomotive force), which is the axis along which the magnetic field produced by the armature winding is aligned.
- The interpolar axis is aligned with the field flux axis, which is the axis along which the magnetic flux produced by the field winding is aligned.
