Types of Electric Motor

December 30, 2019 By Wat Electrical Leave a Comment

electric-motor

We know that electric motors play an essential role in different sectors. At present, there are numerous types of motor available in the market but, these are more different as well as flexible than ever before. The classification of these motors can be done based on its operation and its applications. The main parts of the motors are windings like field winding and armature winding. Motors are the most important machines for motion control systems but its … [Read more...]


Electric Motor : Construction and Its Applications

Electrical-Motor

In an electric motor, the concept of energy conversion was explained by British scientist namely "Michael Faraday" in the year 1821. The main function of the motor is to convert the energy from one form to another. The alteration of energy can be done through a conductor that carries current in a magnetic field. Once the electrical current, as well as a magnetic field, generates the torque then the conductors begin revolving. After that in 1832, the DC … [Read more...]


Universal Motor : Working and its Types

universal-motor

We know that there are different kinds of electric motors available in the market such as single phase, self-starting induction, slip ring, etc. This article discusses a unique kind of electric motor. Imagine an electric motor that works on both AC and DC. This motor is named as a universal motor. As the name suggests, the working ability of this motor mainly depends on AC & DC with related characteristics. This motor also includes a high starting … [Read more...]

Free Energy Generator : Working & Its Applications

December 24, 2019 By Wat Electrical Leave a Comment

free-energy-generator

The first generator was invented early in 1832 by Hippolyt Pixii which was called a Dynamo. It was the first machine that is capable of generating power. Earlier to the invention of the electric generator, the machine introduced was able to work on the basis of the electrostatic principle. This was based on the working of electrically charged plates which is used to drive belts, plates, and disks. As moving forward, the thought of inventing the free energy … [Read more...]

What is a DC Series Generator – Load Test, Characteristics & Applications

November 29, 2019 By Wat Electrical Leave a Comment

equivalent circuitt

An electrical generator is a kind of machine that can able to convert the input mechanical energy to electrical energy. It was invented in 1831 by Michael Faraday who worked on several theories of magnetic induction. Finally, it was made to work by the introduction of Electromagnetic Induction. This theory is the basis for the working of an electrical generator. Moreover, this electrical energy generated is used by electrical motors. However, these motors … [Read more...]

What is a Rotor – Types, Working, & Applications

November 22, 2019 By Wat Electrical Leave a Comment

Electric Motor Rotor

The rotor was invented in the early 1800s and it was discovered by the naval officers R. P. C. Spengler and Theo A. van Hengel. Earlier it was used in Rotor dynamics for the encryption of files especially used in cryptography. The invention of this type is also supported by Gustaf de Laval who is working for the development of turbine machinery. This type was supposed to be called Laval type as per his name Gustaf de Laval. In this article, we shall … [Read more...]

DC Shunt Generator – Working, Load Test & Magnetisation Characteristics

November 15, 2019 By Wat Electrical Leave a Comment

dc shunt generator

Early 1830 Faraday worked on the process that is related to electromagnetic fields. He discovered a theory that is basic behind the working of a generator. Later several discoveries have been done that led to the invention of some other generators, those are the shunt, series, and compound type. However, all these types work on the same principle I,e the Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. So, the invention of the magnetic laws by Faraday behind … [Read more...]

How to Make a DC Motor – How a Generator is Made from it

November 8, 2019 By Wat Electrical Leave a Comment

motor and generator

The electric motors first developed were of electrostatic in nature. This type of motor is first invented by Scott scientist Andrew Gordon and Benjamin Franklin in the early 1740s. Later many investigations have been done to improve the performance of the electric motor. In 1821 Faraday invented the rotator motion by the induction principle. Later this rotator motion is considered to be the principle of electric motors. In this article, we shall discuss … [Read more...]

DC Series Motor – Operation and Characteristics

November 1, 2019 By Wat Electrical Leave a Comment

series motor

In the early 1870s, the electric motors used in traction did not give profitable results. But the invention of the series motor had brought much convenience in this field. Due to its performance that it can produce high starting torque. This advantage of producing high starting torque has also used the railways where the locomotives can be easily moved forward. In time, a process has also been discovered to use the technology regenerating power by the use … [Read more...]

Direct and Indirect Methods of Testing DC Machines

dc-machine-with-loading-arrangement-500x500

In the early 1880s Oslen proposed to test the machine to invent some new and improvements in machines. In his proposal, he highlighted the difficulties he faced running any machine. Accordingly, he also proposed certain measures to be taken to avoid such difficulties. He suggested testing the machines to improve their performance and working difficulties. So, this is the reason why a machine is tested by different methods to know its behavior. There are … [Read more...]
