If too much of the current be shunted across, the switch should be opened, or if there be a regulator, it should be so adjusted that it will pass enough current through the field windings to excite the machine.
Taking the claims of its makers just as they stand, the advantages of the shunted air-gaps are not very clear.
One-half of the total number of air-gaps in this arrester are shunted by the shunt resistance and the series and shunt resistance are in series with each other.
Only the series air-gaps or those that are not shunted must be jumped in the first instance by the lightning discharge, which thus passes to earth through these air-gaps and the shunt and series resistance in series.
An arc is next started in theshunted air-gaps, and this arc is in turn destroyed because the shunt weakens the current in these gaps.
Why not throw the shunted air-gaps away and combine the shunt and series resistances?

In this the clearing-out drop was not bridged but was placed in series in the tip side of the line and was shunted by a condenser.
In other words, the clearing-out drop is shunted by a comparatively low-resistance line and ringer and the feeble currents arriving from a distant station over the long line are not sufficient to operate the drop thus handicapped.
The lines of force are thus shunted out of the path through the armature coils and there is a sudden decrease from a large number of lines through the turns of the winding to almost none.
The impedance of the clearing-out drop prevents the windings being shunted across the two sides of the cord circuit.
The generator shunt, as already described in Chapter VIII, normally keeps the generator shunted out of circuit.
