winding, Is composed Of a smaller num-
Der of turns than the shunt winding
and the wire used IN this winding Is
usually quite bit larger than the wire
used in the shunt winding. The series
winding is connected directly in the
circuit connecting the generator and
battery and carries whatever current
passes through the battery. The con-
nection of the series winding Is such
that the direction of the current
through 1t Is around the core of the
electro-magnet in the same direction as
the current in the shunt winding when
the battery Is charged. When the
pressure Of the generator has built up
to the proper value the shunt winding
draws up the armature and the bat
terry starts to discharge.
The Series Coils Purpose
Let us now consider what happens
when the pressure Of the generator
drops below the pressure Of the bat
terry. Just as soon as the generator
pressure becomes less than the battery
pressure the battery will start to dis
charge and the current In the series
coil will be reversed in direction. The
current In the shunt coil will, how
ever, remain in the same direction as
previously explained, which results in
the magnetic action of the two coils
being opposed to each other.
Now, as the pressure Of the gener-
ator decreases there will be an In
crease in the discharge current from
the battery and the magnetic action
OF the series coil will increase. Since
the magnetic actions of. the series
and shunt coils are opposed to each
other when the battery is discharging,
the difference in their effects or the
resultant magnetic action acting on
the core OF the electro magnet will
decrease in value as the current IN the
series coil increases in value. The re-
sultant magnetizing action Of the two
coils will be zero when the product
OF the number of turns and the cur
rent these turns contain is the same
for both coils The action OF the
spring 8, however, draws the arma-
ture away from the core when the re.
sultaut magnetic action has been re.
duced to q certain predetermined value
and the circuit connecting the gener-
ator and the battery is broken. In
order that the circuit be closed again
II is necessary that the pressure of the
generator increase in value until
ample current is produced in the shunt
winding to draw up the armature.
Two Pole cutsout .-... ...-. X. -.
The cutodts described thus far have
only one set of contacts and hence
open only one side Of the charging cir
cult Such cutouts are called single
pole cutouts. In some cases the con-
struction of the cutout is such that
both sides of the charging circuit are
sopened and closed by the operation

and. attached to The generator. 1t may
be placed inside tue generator frame
in the brush and, eomfnutator CON-
partment or at the space between the
magnetic poles. The location OF the
cutout inside the generator or in a
housing attachment to it reduces the
length OF the wires between the cutout
and generator to a minimum, and only
two wires need be RIM from the gen.
orator in the two-wire. system or one
wire In one-wire system.
In the manual type of cutout the
connection between the generator and
battery is controlled by a switch that
is attached to the button, handle or
lever of the starting switch or the ig.
milton switch. 1t is customary to at
tach the ignition switch to the start
ing switch when this type Of cutout is
used, and for this reason It might be
said that manually operated cutout
will always be interconnected with the
ignition switch in such manner that
the circuit connecting the generator
and battery will be closed when the ig-
milton circuit is closed and opened
when the ignition circuit is closed. a
diagrammatic representation OF a sys-
tenn Of this kind is shown in Fig. 8.
The switch in this case is composed
of a curved blade B, provided with a
handle II and piyoted at the point o.
The position OF the handle shown in
the figure corresponds ito an idle en-
CINE. The two contacts marked and
2 are for the purpose Of grounding
the magnets and thus cutting off the
ignition. The dynamo in this case
operates as motor when the main
switch is closed, the shunt and series
fields acting upon the magnetic circuit

As the machine speeds up the pres
sure in its armature will increase, and
when it exceeds the pressure of the
battery the battery will start to
charge. When the battery is charging
the shunt and series magnetic fields
act on the magnetic circuit of the
dynamo in the opposite direction with
respect to each other. The switch may
be placed in a position between the
two extreme positions, which results
in the ignition being operative, but
the battery entirely disconnected. The
shunt field is also opened, which pre-
vents there being pressure gener-
ated in the armature of the Sener.

ton OF the currents will be as indi-
Gated in Fig. 4. The division of the
total current supplied the cutout be-
tween the generator and the battery
will depend upon the relation, between
their internal resistance. When the
electrical pfessures within the gener-
ator and the battery are each exactly
the same and their internal resistances
are equal, then each OF them will sup.
ply one-haH of the total current in the
winding OF the cutout. II their internal
resistances are not equal their pres.
sures being equal, then the one hav.
ing the smaller internal resistance will
supply the larger part OF the total
current In the winding Of the cutout.
When the electrical pressure In the
armature winding OF the generator is
less than the electrical pressure in the
battery, then the battery starts to dis
charge and sends a current through
the armature OF the generator in the
opposite direction to the pressure gen.
Grated in the armature, as indicated
In Fig. 5, thus causing motor action
to take place, The degree of this
motor action will depend upon how
much current is produced In the arma-
ture winding, which In turn will de-
pend upon the difference in the pres
sure in the armature Of the gener-
ator and the pressure, of the battery,
or the effective pressure, divided by
the total resistance of the entire cir
cult.
II Is interesting to note that the bat
terry will supply a current to the wind
ing of the cutout and that the diree-
ton Of this current in the winding
Of the cutout is the same as when it
was supplied by the generator. This
results in the armature OF the cutout
remaining drawn up. and the circuit
between the generator and the battery
viii remain closed even though the
battery is discharged through the
armature Of the generator. The cutout
will remain closed at the comparative
ly low pressure of the battery when
almost discharged. on account Of the
rent to hold the armature in place
sfter It is once drawn up as it does
to draw it up in the first place, when
there is quite an air gap between 1t
and the core of the electromagnetic.
Overcoming the Fault s.
The connections outlined IN Fig. s
are used In order to overcome the fault
just pointed out. The cutout is pro-
vided with two windings instead Of a
single winding. One of these windings,
M, called the shunt winding, is con-
nected directly to the terminals Of the
dynamo, or rather the two leads from
the dynamo, and the current In this
winding will be equal TO the pressure
between the two main line wires, divid-
ed by the resistance OF the winding.
, The other winding, called the serie

OF the cutout. Such cutoutS are called
two-pole cutouts. An example of a
two-pold cutout Is shown in Fig. Z,
which gives the wiring diagram Of the
cntout made by the Leece-Se Vile
Company. There Is current produced
In the shunt winding s, which draws
up the armature A and closes the two

nl.':netic effect of the shunt ard serIea
v.ind;ags Is reduced, due to the dc
crease in the pressure generated IL
the armature of the generator, the
springs P1 and Pc push the arnlature
away from the core and open both
sets of contacts, thus breaking the
electrical connection between the
generator and the battery on both
the positive and negative sides.
Arrangement of Windines on Cutout
Separately mounted cutSuts OF the
two-poIe type usually have three ter
minals: one, marked d, leading to the
dynamo only; aonther, marked B, lead
ing to the battery only; and a third
one, marked DB, which is attached to
both the dynamo and battery. In the
two-pole type of cutout there are us1-
ally four terminals; two go direct to
the battery and two direct to the gen
orator.
In the majority of cases the series
and shunt windings are placed on the
one single core, but in some cases two
separate cores are provided, one for
the series winding and one for the
shunt winding; while in other cases
two cores are, provided and part OF
each OF the shunt and series windings
is placed on each Of the cores The
two cores on which the windings are
placed may be located side by side
or one may be placed above the other.
In some of the systems the arm that
supports the movable contact point
carries one or more of the electro-mag-
nets A good example of cutout Of
this type is the one found in the Ad-
lake equipment In this case there are
two sets of electro-magnets, one set be-
ing stationary and the other set NOV
able. The mounting for the movable
set Of magnets carries one Of the con-
facts, and this contact point makes
electrical connection with the station
airy contact when the movable magnets
are drawn up against the stationary
magnets directly above them. No spring
is used to open the contacts, the
weight q the movable magnets serv-
ing the purpose of the spring.
Location OF Cutouts
The cutout may be found in any one
of number Of different places, de-
pending on the design and make of the
equipment. In some cases it is mount
ed in special housing provided for it
