Record 1 2016-03-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electric Motors
  • Coils and Windings (Electrical Components)
DEF

The main field winding of a motor when shunt connected.

CONT

A shunt field (and any series resistor used for adjustment) may be directly connected across the armature terminals in parallel with the load. Where the machine has a series compounding winding, the field may be connected at the armature side (short shunt) or load side (long shunt).

OBS

shunt field: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Moteurs électriques
  • Bobines et bobinage (Composants électrotechniques)
CONT

En limitant la vitesse de rotation à vide, le champ de dérivation assure une immobilisation très rapide de l'induit, de façon à pouvoir effectuer, si besoin est, une nouvelle tentative de démarrage quasiment sans délai.

OBS

Bien qu'on rencontre très souvent le terme «shunt» dans le domaine de l'électricité, en français, il est préférable d'utiliser le terme «dérivation».
