ts points of a magnet differing in polarity, so asto divert part of the lines of force from the armature or yoke. Theshunt is especially applicable in the case of horseshoe magnets.Thus a bar of iron placed across from limb to limb a short distanceback from the poles would act as a shunt to the… … • vX -—->/ / V -. ^ • y if- Fig. 225. Magnetic Shunt. magnetic shunt has been used to diminish the lines of force goingthrough the armature and hence to weaken the field and diminishthe electro-motive force. By moving the shunt nearer or furtherfrom the poles the dynamo is regulated. In the cut…
