Marine Electrical Systems USCG Q#264 (Set 9)

In D.C. motor construction, where are the commutating windings wound?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — interpoles

Commutating windings are concentrated on small auxiliary poles known as interpoles, positioned directly between the main field poles. Per IEEE 45 machinery construction standards, these windings connect in series with the armature to counteract armature reaction effectively.
