• It is a combination of a sychronous motor and a dynamo.
• The winding is connected to the commutators in the usual way, and divided into two halves by leads connecting segments 180° apart to collector rings.
• A bipolar field is shown for simplicity. In practice the field is multipolar and energized by direct current.
