ELECTRICAL MACHINE
a) Functions :
➢ To carry current due to which pole core, on which the field winding is
placed, behaves as an electromagnet, producing necessary flux.
➢ it is called Field winding or Exciting winding.
b) Choice of material : Aluminium or copper is the choice. But field coils are
required to take any type of shape and bend about pole core and copper has good
pliability i.e. it can bend easily. So copper is the proper choice.
4 Armature
It is divided into two parts namely,
➢ Armature core and
➢ Armature winding
Construction of DC Machine
• i) Armature core : Armature core is cylindrical in shape
mounted on the shaft. It consists of slots on its periphery and
the air ducts to permit the air flow through armature for
cooling.
a) Functions :
– Armature core provides house for armature winding i.e. armature
conductors.
– To provide a path of low reluctance to the magnetic flux produced by
the field winding.
b) Choice of Material :
As it has to provide a low reluctance path to the flux, it is made
up of magnetic material like cast iron or cast steel. It is made
up of laminated construction to keep eddy current loss as low
as possible.
Construction of DC Machine
• ii) Armature winding :
– The interconnection of the armature conductors, placed in the slots provided on the armature
core periphery.
– When the armature is rotated, in case of generator, magnetic flux gets cut by armature
conductors and e.m.f. gets induced in them.
• a) Functions :
– Generation of e.m.f takes place in the armature winding in case of generators.
– To carry the current supplied in case of d.c. motors.
– To do the useful work in the external circuit.
• b) Choice of material : it has to be made up of conducting material, carries
large current. Made of copper. Armature winding is generally former wound.
The conductors are placed in the armature slots which are lined with tough
insulating material.
Principle of Operation of a DC machine as
Generator
Faraday’s law of Electromagnetic Induction:
➢ Whenever the flux linking with a conductor or a coil changes, an
electromotive force is set up in that conductor.
➢ The change in flux can exist only when there is a relative motion
between the conductor and the flux.
➢ The relative motion can be achieved by rotating the conductor
w.r.t flux or by rotating flux w.r.t conductor.
➢ Voltage gets generated in a conductor as long as there exist a
relative motion between the conductor and flux.
Fleming’s Right Hand Rule
• If three fingers of right hand, namely thumb, index finger and middle finger are
outstretched so that everyone of them is at right angles with the remaining
two.
• If index finger is made to point in the direction of lines of flux, thumb in the
direction of the relative motion of the conductor then middle finger gives the
direction of emf induced in the conductor.
• Magnitude of emf is ,
E=Blv
Types of DC Generator
Separately Excited DC Generator
If the field winding is excited by separate DC supply, then the generator is
called separately excited DC generator.

IL = Ia + Ish
V = Eb + Ia Ra + Ise Rse +Vbrush
Ish = (V - Ise Rse )/ Rsh
= (Eb + Ia Ra +Vbrush)/ Rsh
Compound Motor -Classification
• Compound motors can be classified in to two types
based on the winding construction,
– Cumulative Compound motor
– Differential compound motor
• Cumulative Compound motor
– In this type of motor, the two winding fluxes aids each other
– Flux due to the series field winding strengthens the flux due
to the shunt field winding.

Characteristics of DC shunt motor
• Field winding is connected across the armature as well as the supply
voltage ,
• Since the supply voltage is constant,
the field current and hence the flux is
constant. Hence they are called the
constant flux motors.

Since 𝐈𝒔𝒉 and 𝛗 are constant, N=K(V- 𝐈𝒂 𝐑 𝒂 ) This implies that, the speed is
nearly constant except for a small drop.

Characteristics of DC shunt motor contd.
• Due to this characteristics, DC shunt motor acts as a constant
speed motor.
Applications:
• Machine tools, lathes, wood working machines
• In general, for applications where constant speed is required.
