D. C. COMMUTATING MACHINES 195 as average saturation curve the curve shown in Fig. 105 as A and as central curve in Fig. 106. Direct-current generators are usually operated at a point of the saturation curve above the bend, that is, at a point where the terminal voltage increases considerably less than proportionally to the field excitation. This is necessary in self-exciting direct- current generators to secure stability. The ratio increase of field excitation total field excitation that is, corresponding increase of voltage total voltage F* de FIG. 105. — Saturation characteristics. is called saturation factor s, and is plotted in Fig. 105. It is the ratio of a small percentage increase in field excitation to a corre- sponding percentage increase in voltage thereby produced. The quantity 1 is called the percentage saturation of the

  • Field language: Read for whether field language is mechanical, geometrical, causal, descriptive, or simply a convenient engineering model.
  • Field language: Field-pressure or field-gradient interpretations can be explored here only after the explicit source passage and modern engineering translation are kept distinct.
  1. Open the full source text and the scan or raw PDF.
  2. Verify the chapter boundary and surrounding context.
  3. Promote exact quotations only after checking the source image.
  4. Move mathematical candidates into canonical equation pages only after formula typography is corrected.
  5. Move diagram candidates into the diagram archive only after image extraction, crop verification, and manifest creation.
  6. Keep Steinmetz wording, modern translation, and ether-field interpretation in separate labeled layers.
