Fig. 490 shows four coils of wire. Assume that thecoils B B receive an alternating current^ and the coils A… … Fig. 491 TWO PHASE ROTATING FIELD COIL AND ARMATURE When the B current is at maximum, there will be es-tablished Nand S magnet poles on a horizontal axis pass-ing through the center of the B coil. The A coils whenactive will establish poles on an axis perpendicular thereto. Poles at intermediate…
