We suggested the UN use a neutral plane, " he said.
2.
The effect of the armature field is to distort the generator field and shift the neutral plane.
3.
Any line within the neutral plane parallel to the axis of the beam is called the "'deflection curve "'of the beam.
4.
A blind hole was bored at each end, to the depth of the neutral plane, and the calibration marks were made at this depth.
5.
If the brushes were contacting commutator segments outside the neutral plane, they would short-circuit " live " coils and cause arcing and loss of power.
6.
If the load varies to a marked degree, the neutral plane will shift proportionately, and the brushes will not be the correct position at all times.
7.
To show that every beam must have a neutral plane, the material of the beam can be imagined to be divided into narrow fibers parallel to its length.
8.
As there is no lengthwise stress force on the neutral plane, there is no strain or extension either : when the beam bends, the length of the neutral plane remains constant.

10.
The brushes of a generator must be set in the neutral plane; that is, they must contact segments of the commutator that are connected to armature coils having no induced emf.
