42 STANDARD ELECTRICAL DICTIONARY.

Armature, Bar.

An armature in a dynamo or motor whose winding is made up of conductors

in the form of bars, round, rectangular and of other sections. This type

of armature conductor is objectionable as Foucault currents are produced

in it. It is found best to laminate or subdivide low resistance armature

windings.

[Transcriber's Note: Foucault currents are also called eddy currents.]

Armature, Bipolar.

An armature in which two poles are induced by the field. A bipolar field

magnet produces a bipolar armature.

Armature Bore.

The cylindrical space defined by the pole pieces of a dynamo or motor

within which the armature rotates.

Synonym--Armature Chamber.
