What is quadrature axis reactance?

miniature electric motor

stator/rotor production equipment slotless motor prod. equipment

If the stator winding of a synchronized machine, which consists of many coils that are basically
connected as a series
circuit, is not connected to a load then the resulting emf from all the coils is the open circuit emf of
the phase winding. Closing the circuit on to a load causes a steady state current to flow in the stator
coils. Each coil creates a flux and their total flux opposes the field flux from the rotor. The resulting
flux in the air gap is reduced. The emf corresponding to the air-gap flux drives the stator current
through the leakage reactance and conductor resistance of the stator coils. The voltage dropped
across
this winding impedance is small in relation to the air-gap voltage. Deducting this voltage drop from
the air-gap voltage gives the terminal voltage of the loaded generator. In the circumstance described
thus far the reduction in air-gap flux is called armature reaction and the resulting flux is much
smaller

A similar situation occurs when the rotor pole axis is at right angles to the axis of the stator
coils. Here the magnetic reluctance is at its maximum value due to the widest part of the air gap
