Principle of Operation of DC Generator
Motion System Emf
(input) (Conductor in magnetic field) (output)
• When a conductor is rotated (moved) in a magnetic field in such a way

that it cuts the magnetic lines of flux, then emf (voltage) is induced in
the conductor according to Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic
Induction.
• The direction of induced emf is given by Fleming’s Right Hand Rule
• This emf causes current to flow if the conductor circuit is closed.
• This emf is alternating in nature.
• This alternating emf is converted to unidirectional emf by commutator

and supplied to electrical load.
R L Maurya 7
Fleming’s Right Hand Rule
When you move

the conductor,
the direction of
induced emf and
current is given by
Fleming’s Right
Hand Rule
It can be said this

rule can be used
for generating
action.

Principle of Operation of DC Motor
Current System Motion
(input) (Conductor in magnetic field) (output)
• When a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field

then the conductor experiences a force, according to Lorentz
Law
• The direction of force experienced is given by Fleming’s Left
Hand Rule
• In a DC motor, the commutator helps to produce a
unidirectional torque.
R L Maurya 9
Fleming’s Left Hand Rule
When you pass
current through
the conductor,
the direction of
force experienced
by conductor is
given by Fleming’s
Left Hand Rule
It can be said this

rule can be used
for motoring
action. RCOE/Sem1/Common/BEE/DC Machines/

1. Field Windings: Provides the magnetic field (flux)
Made of copper wire
2. Pole Core: Field windings are mounted on pole core.

Made of thin steel laminations to reduce loss
3. Pole Shoe : Provides uniform distribution of magnetic flux

B. Armature System
The armature system is mounted on the shaft which rotates
1. Armature Windings:
-- Provides emf when used as generator.
-- Rotates the shaft and provides torque when used as motor.
-- Made of copper wire.
2. Armature Core:
-- Armature core is mounted on shaft.
-- Armature conductors (windings) are mounted in slots of
armature core.
-- Cylindrical , made of thin steel laminations to reduce loss

C. Commutator and Brush Assembly
1. Commutator:
-- Mounted on rotating shaft. It rotates with the shaft.
-- Armature conductors are connected to commutator segments.
-- For DC generator For current collection from armature
conductors and provides unidirectional emf.
-- For DC Motor For current distribution to armature conductors
and provides unidirectional torque
-- Commutator is made up of insulated copper segments.
2. Brushes:
-- Brushes are stationary and press on commutator.
-- Provide contact with rotating commutator and external stationary –
circuit.
-- Brushes carry current towards or away from the commutator.
-- Made of carbon

Derivation of EMF equation for DC Machines
(both DC Motor and DC Generator)
Let,
φ= flux per pole in weber
Z = Total number of conductor
P = Number of poles
A = Number of parallel paths
n = Armature speed in rotation per second (r p s)
N = Armature speed in rotation per minute (r p m)
E = emf (Generated emf in case of dc generator;

Back emf in case of motor)
25
R L Maurya
Flux cut by 1 conductor in 1 revolution = φP
Flux cut by 1 conductor in 1 sec = φPn
where , n=
Flux cut by 1 conductor in 1sec =

Avgemf generated in 1 conductor =
Number of conductors in each parallel path = Z /A
EMF , E =
