Hence the advocacy of many for theemployment of zero power-factor values only. Combined Method »• • ^- ^^ ^^- -^ In the comined method the armature reactance and the arma-ture reaction are considered separately. Various definitionsare used for these two quantities, but as regards the principle ofthe method the differences are unessential. The armature reactancemay be obtained by measurement v/ith the rotor out, by calculationfrom the short-circuit curve, by measurement when running withexcitation and with reversed sections of armature winding, or byany of the methods used for calculation. In the same way thevalue of armature reaction to be employed may be variously ob-tained. The diagram. Fig. 4, illustrates the relation of the differ-ent factors. The diagram is the same as used in the reactancemethod, the values used being di
