If pole arc is less than pole pitch, a compensating winding will have ampere-turns _________ (compare to peak ampere turns).

If pole arc is less than pole pitch, a compensating winding will have ampere-turns _________ (compare to peak ampere turns). Correct Answer Less

The ampere-turns required for compensating winding in a DC machine is ATcw /pole = ATa (peak) *(pole arc/pole pitch) = * (pole arc/pole pitch). Thus, if compensating winding ampere turns are less then, pole arc is smaller than pole pitch and vice-versa.
