Basics of Electricals

A device that transforms the form of input electrical energy to an output mechanical energy. Basically, there are two types of electrical motors they are the DC and AC type. The DC type machines are normally used in small applications whereas the AC type has its importance in a wide range of applications. Because the AC machines have more advantages compared to that of DC machines. In this article, we shall discuss what is AC motor, construction, working … [Read more...]

Modern machinery has an important role in the usage of an electric motor. Because every machine requires the operation of a motor. Most of the equipment in today's life has the usage of a motor.  An Electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The electric motors are classified into two types like AC motor as well as the DC motor. It uses a battery to operate, it carries the unidirectional current from the battery and … [Read more...]

An armature is a combination of the winding, commutator, brushes, and ball bearings. It is a core on which all these elements hold to fulfill its own action. It is liable for the generation of flux when the current through the winding associates with the field flux. This association of flux creates a reaction that puts some influence on the flux caused. The obtained flux either gets distorted or decreased due to the armature reaction. But commutator role … [Read more...]

An electrical generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Based on its operation, it is classified as AC and DC generator. An AC generator is more advantageous compared to a DC generator. Because in DC generator, the usage of commutator brush drop will be more and the operation will not be smoother. So, the AC generator is used for smoother operations. This AC generator itself is called an Alternator which finds its usage … [Read more...]

An electrical generator is one kind of electrical machine, used to convert input mechanical form energy to electrical energy either AC (or) DC. Depending upon the output it is classified as an AC generator or a DC generator. The DC generator consists of a Yoke, armature core, pole core, bearings, brushes, and a commutator. Each component of the DC generator has its individual role to play in the operation. Among them, the working of a commutator is very … [Read more...]

An electrical generator is one kind of machine, used to alter energy from supplied mechanical form to electrical form. There are different kinds of generators available in the market and the classification of generators can be done depending on the output received. The output of any machine is AC or alternating current whether it is direct current (DC) or AC generator. Thus, in DC generator a device is necessary to change the current from alternating to … [Read more...]

Truly, for the creation of a captivating field, a winding is required. This winding is associated with many titles based upon the point where it is provided. It is selected as a field winding if the winding is designed on the field poles. Likewise, it is defined as an armature winding if it is applied upon the focus. The winding is required for the creation of flux. This flux which in turn qualified for the creation of stability that allows needed twist … [Read more...]

The armature is a part of the motor that plays an important role in its operation. It is wound with a number of coils around it that forms a magnetic circuit. This circuit is responsible for the production of flux which in turn develops the required torque. This is the reason why it is considered as the heart of any rotating device because it is the source for the production of flux in any machine. So, let us discuss in detail about the importance of … [Read more...]

The rotating machines function on the same principle of electromagnetic induction those are the motor and the generator. Even though the principle is the same their the output they deliver differs due to the operational difference. This difference in operation is important for the machines to be classified as either a motor or a generator. Similarly, the individual machines can also be classified as ac or dc typed depending on the input and output they … [Read more...]

An Electrical Generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. This machine is further classified into two other kinds based on the power supply i,e ac and dc. The basic difference name a generator as an ac or dc is its input power supply. If the supply to the machine is single directional then it is Dc and it is vice-versa if it is alternating. The internal operation differs with this input supply. Let us discuss in detail … [Read more...]
