The armature has the stationary (not physically moving) magnetic field, which attracts the magnetic field in the rotor. Since DC does not alternate, a split ring is used to alternate the current (and resulting magnetic field), so that the rotor will spin.

What does a armature or rotor do?

The Armature(or rotor) is a electromagnet inside a motor and alters the magnetic field inside the motor when it rotates. In DC motors it is connected to a Commutator. In AC induction motors the armature isn't connected to a power source.


What is reason for armature over voltage in 450 kw dc motors?

Here we used dcon digital dc drive


How are the series and shunt field windings of the compound wound dc motor connected relative to the armature?

series field in series with the armature shunt in parallel with the voltage supply the shut field increases the strength of the magnetic field with heavy loads to reverse the motors direction the fields remain the same you swap the armature leads


What is the difference between a field winding and an armature winding in any machine?

simply saying u that field winding is a winding present at the stator of the motor and is used to produce the magnetic field and the armature winding is the winding present in the rotor and is used to rotate the shaft of the motor. there are some machines with permanent magnets, those permanent magnets are used as the major source of magnetic flux in the machine instead of the field winding .


How will the armature current and the output power of a dc shunt motors change with increasing load?

With increasing torque load the armature tends to slow down; the motor draws more current to compensate, and if there is armature resistance the back emf generated by the armature falls to allow the increased current to flow, which causes the motor to settle at a lower speed. The mechanical output power is the speed times the torque, and increasing the torque increases the power output provided the speed does not drop much.

The correct spelling is armature (wound coil in motors and generators).


Switching of the poles?

This question doesn't really have enough information. I'll assume that you are talking about a DC circuit where switching of the poles would mean to reverse the polarity of the circuit, ie switching of the poles would mean to switch the positive and negative leads of the circuit. This term is also associated with motors. Switching of the poles in motors is what causes the rotation of the armature. The brushes of the motor induce a current into the armature, as the armature rotates the brushes come in contact with other bars on the armature thus "switching of the poles".

Why use resistor grids in DC motors?

resistor grids were used in DC MOTORS during dynamic braking. in this method of braking a resistance ( variable) is connected across armature winding so as to dissipiate the energy. the energy thus dissipiated is used for braking of motors.

Difference between a stepper motor differs normal motor?

A normal motor run at a fixed speed depending on: AC motors: Voltage and frequency (Hetz) and number of poles DC Motors: Armature voltage Stepper motors speed depend on the drive pulse frequency.


What is the electrical term excitation mean?

Excitation is normally used to describe the current supplied to the field winding of a motor. A motor has a rotating armature with a coil that rotates in the magnetic field produced by a fixed field coil. The current in the field coil can be taken from a series or parallel connection to the armature coil, or (usually for larger motors) it can be supplied independently via some sort of controller. Excitation can be used to control the speed of DC motors or the power factor of synchronous motors.

What are the comparisons between motors and generators?

Electric Motors • The electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy • The shaft of a motor is driven by the magnetic forces developed between the armature and field • Current has to be supplied to the armature winding. • Motors obey Fleming`s Left Hand Rule • Electric Motors Fleming`s Left Hand Rule The Left Hand Rule shows what happens when charged particles enter a magnetic field. Generators • A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. • A shaft attached to the rotor is driven by a mechanical force • Electric current is produced in the armature windings. • Generators obey Fleming's Right Hand Rule • Generators The Right Hand Rule shows how a current-carrying wire generates a magnetic field.
