Self Excited DC Generator: Rather than arranging a separate dc source for excitation purposes, practical generators are always excited from their own armature terminals, this method of excitation being known…

Magnetization Characteristics of DC Generator: The emf and torque equations, and power balance has been considered so far. The consideration of the Magnetization Characteristics in this section will set the…

Methods of Excitation of DC Generator: The performance characteristics of a dc machine are greatly influenced by the way in which the field winding is excited with direct current. There…

Commutation in DC Machine or Generator or Motor: One coil each under an adjoining pole-pair is connected between adjacent commutator segments in a lap-wound dc armature, while in a wave-wound…

Compensating Winding in DC Machine: Compensating Winding in DC Machine - It was seen from earlier section, that armature reaction causes the flux density wave to be so badly distorted…

Armature Reaction in DC Machine: When the armature of a dc machine carries current, the distributed armature winding produces its own mmf (distributed) known as armature reaction in DC Machine.…

EMF and Torque Equation of DC Machine: EMF and Torque Equation of DC Machine - It was shown in Sec. 5.2 (Fig. 5.14 (a)) that in a dc machine the…

Introduction of DC Motor: Introduction of DC Motor is constructed in many forms and for a variety of purposes, from the 3-mm stepper drawing a few μA at 1.5 V…
