 ELECTRICAL MACHINES

“An Electrical Machine is a device that can

convert either Mechanical Energy to Electrical
Energy or Electrical Energy to Mechanical
Energy”
TYPES OF ELECTRICAL MACHINES

 ELECTRICAL GENERATOR
ELECTRICAL MOTOR
Static Machine(Transformer)
 ELECTRICAL GENERATOR
“An Electrical Generator is a device that converts
Mechanical Energy to Electrical Energy”
Power: up to 5,720 kW
per cylinder,
34,320–80,080 kW

(46,680–108,920 BHP)  
 ELECTRICAL MOTOR
“An Electrical Motor is a device that converts
Electrical Energy to Mechanical Energy”
 TRANSFORMER

“A Transformer is a device that converts AC

Electric Energy at one voltage level to
another voltage level”
 Basic Principles
Of
Electrical Machines
 Basic Principles
i. A current carrying wire produces a magnetic
field in the area around it.

ii. A time changing magnetic field induces a

voltage in a coil that passes through it
(Basis of Transformer Action).
 Basic Principles
iii. A current carrying wire in the presence of
magnetic field has a force induced in it
(Basis of Motor Action).

iv. A moving wire in the presence of magnetic

field has a voltage induced in it
(Basis of Generator Action)
Electrical Power
 Electrical Power
• Three Areas of Electrical Power

– Generation
– Transmission
– Distribution & Utilization
 Generation
• Concerned with different methods of
generating Electric Power
– Conventional Methods
• Thermal
• Nuclear
• Hydel
– Non-Conventional Methods
• Wind
• Solar
 Transmission
• Concerned with transporting the generated power to different
types of consumers located generally at far off places from
the generating stations
 Distribution & Utilization
• Necessity of substations to cater power to
consumers at various voltage levels
