The effective assumed in phase with the use-ful flux is laid off on ON and the saturation curves of the wholemagnetic circuit and of the different parts are drawn, as shown. Thearmature OD is laid off at the angle (90 |-^) fromON and at right angles to OB. The value of the apparent arma-ture reaction as measured by short-circuited armature is given asOK. The real armature is equal to OJ, the difference,. Fig. 5.— Derivation of reactance diagram.
