Talk:Compensation winding

Merge proposal
I oppose a merger with Transformer because the article is mainly about motors. Biscuittin (talk) 16:37, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Transformers
Quote: "A compensation winding is an isolated coil wound into a transformer's primary to effectively create fractional numbers of turns". Is this about tappings on a transformer primary to suit different mains voltages, e.g. 200-220-240? If so, it isn't isolated. Biscuittin (talk) 16:42, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I have searched for compensation winding and fractional turns related to transformers. I have found plenty of the latter, but none are called compensation windings.  Every example of compensation winding involves a rotating machine.  The only references I can find involve DC motors.  Since there are no references at all, I am going to remove the part about transformers.  The Electric Motor part has been copy and pasted form a copyrighted source.  I'm going to rewrite that part, with references. Constant314 (talk) 16:18, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Question
What is mmf? Is it Magnetomotive force? Biscuittin (talk) 16:57, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

I second that question (anonymous, UK, Jan 2017) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.152.194.89 (talk) 20:22, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
