system?

80. Would it be possible to use a simple, center-tapped resistor instead of a reactor for

three-wire service? Give reasons for your answer.

31. What current does the neutral wire carry in a three-wire system? Under what

condition is the current in the neutral wire toward the reactor? away from the

reactor ? zero

88. What is a third-brush generator? When is it used?

33. Why would it be unsatisfactory to use a standard shunt or compound generator

in an automobile for charging and utilities services?

34. Explain the principle of operation of the third-brush generator.

36. Discuss the general constructional features of the diverter-pole generator and

it differs from the standard generator construction.

86. What circuit energizes the diverter-pole winding? Why?

37. What advantage, in operation, is possessed by the diverter-pole generator as

compared with the flat-compound generator for battery-charging purpose

38. What is the purpose of the slot in the bridge of the diverter-pole generator?

39. Explain how the diverter-pole generator, when used for battery-charging pur

poses, charges the battery at a high rate at the beginning and tapers off with

40. What is a dynamolor?

increasing charge. Why is this not possible when a shunt generator is used?

41. Why is a dynamotor more efficient than a motor-generator set

dynamotor and cannot be changed by flux adjustment.

42. Explain why the ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage is fixed in
