The key is connected in circuit with the galvanometer so that whenever the key is not depressed, the galvanometer is short circuited, and its oscillations quickly damped out by the currents induced in its coil.
In addition to the main field coils, one tip of each pole piece is surrounded by a short circuited coil of wire or frame of copper, as indicated in the figure.
The main pair of brushes 5-6 is placed in the axis of the main field winding 1 and is short circuited.
If the starting switch do not have to carry the full load current and can be short circuited by another switch, a starting switch of smaller capacity equivalent to 50 per cent of running current of the machine can be used.
When the relay contacts are in the normal closed position, as shown, the coil is short circuited.
In the design of such alternators self-induction and armature reaction are purposely exaggerated; so that the current does not increase very much, even when the machine is short circuited.
If the horn gaps be set too close together they may be short circuited by rain.
Should the operator suspect trouble with his battery he may discover a short circuited cell by the marked difference in color of the plates or of the specific gravity of the electrolyte, as compared with the other cells.
No harm results even if the secondary be short circuited, since only the normal current can be generated.
C will not remain idle during the interval it is short circuited, but will cut the magnetic lines in such a way as to induce a current in the reverse direction through it.
In the figure, segment 3 is just leaving the brush and 2 is beginning to pass under it, hence, for an instant the coil C is short circuited.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "short circuited" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
