-3- Contd.

Length of mean armature turn ( approx) = 11.5"

Total length for resistance
58 x 11.5
= ---------- = 55.6 feet
12

Armature temperature considered to be
100°C (hot)

Resistance per 1000' for 19 S.W.G. at
100°C = 8.5 w

Armature resistance hot
= .0556 x 8.5
= .472 w

Brush resistance, say, .01 w
giving .482 w total.



Contd.
