Thomas Davenport invented the first real motor later Micheal Faraday and Joseph supported his work. Micheal Faraday did his work mostly related to the working of electromagnetic fields. This invention became the basic principle behind the working of an electrical motor. Beyond the invention of motor further investigations have been done to study the different types of motors such that different motor operations have been discovered. The operation of these … [Read more...]

Generally, at the beginning of the motor invention, there is a lot of contribution from various scientists. So, the scientist like "Michael Faraday" was invented the various electromagnetic induction laws. In the same way, both the scientists like "Thomas Davenport" as well as "William sturgeon"  were invented the commutator type working machine. The inventions of these three scientists led to DC motor development. There are different types of motor … [Read more...]

An electrical motor is one kind of machine, used to convert one form of energy to another like from electrical to mechanical. These motors are categorized into two types based on the input supply. For instance, if the given power supply is a DC then, then it is called a DC motor. Similarly, if the given input power supply is an AC one, then it is called as AC motor. This article discusses the difference between ac motor and dc motor. Difference between AC … [Read more...]

The system of both the motoring and the generating is nearly alike. In DC, there is no constructional discrepancy among the generating and the utilizing machine. Likewise, in AC, both the utilizing and the generating devices have the identical constructional innovations. But, the construction of these two tools varies at a time I,e that is the acceptance of AC and DC. In this study, we shall consider the basics of what is utilizing and generating machine, … [Read more...]

The first commutator was invented by William sturgeon using the machine in the year 1837. After that, an American inventor namely "Thomas Davenport" was invented another commutator type DC machine and afterward, AC machines are invented. This machine is used to control the devices which operate using alternating current. A DC machine is used to operate the devices which use unidirectional current. When we evaluate with DC machines, Alternating Current … [Read more...]

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...]
