The document summarizes the key components and working principle of a DC generator. It lists the group members and agenda which includes an introduction to electric power generation, DC generators, and their working principle, construction, types, and applications. The construction section describes the main components of a DC generator - the field winding, armature winding, commutator, and brushes. It also provides brief explanations of separately excited and self-excited DC generators and their applications.

• A generator works on the principles of Faraday’s law of
electromagnetic induction • Whenever a conductor is moved in the magnetic field , an emf is induced and the magnitude of the induced emf is directly proportional to the rate of change of flux linkage. • This emf causes a current flow if the conductor circuit is closed . Construction of DC Machine • Field Winding • Armature winding • Commutator • Brushes Field Winding A field winding is use to create a magnetic field. Armature Winding • Armature Winding is the windings, in which voltage is induced. • The filed winding is the winding in which the main field flux is produced. Commutator • Converts ac into unidirectional current
• Cylindrical in shape
• Segments are insulated from each other
• No of segments equal to no of coils
• Connect with external circuit
Brush It is made up of carbon TYPES OF DC GENERATOR Generators are generally classified according to their method of excitation .
• Separately excited DC generator
• Self excited D C generator
Application Shunt Generators: • In electro plating • For battery recharging • As exciters for AC generators.
Series Generators : • As boosters • As lighting arc lamps
