Figure 10: Cross sectional view
Fig. 10 gives the cross sectional view of a modern d.c. machine show-
ing all the salient parts. Armature windings, along with the commutators, form the heart
of the d.c. machine. This is where the emf is induced and hence its eective deployment
enhances the output of the machine. Fig. 11(a) shows one coil of an armature of Gramme
ring arrangement and Fig. 11(b) shows one coil as per drum winding arrangement. Earlier,
