What is armature current?

Armature current is the current flowing in a motor's armature. The "armature" is another name for the coil (or coils) of wire which are on the motor's "rotor", which is the part that rotates inside its stator. (The "stator" is the fixed, non-rotating part of the motor.)

What is armature amps?

Armature amps refer to the current flowing through the armature winding of an electric motor or generator. It is used to power the electromagnetic coils that generate the magnetic field needed for the motor or generator to operate efficiently. Monitoring armature amps is crucial for maintaining the proper functioning and performance of the motor or generator.

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 meant by shaft and commutator in the armature?

The armature is the moving part of a motor or generator. Tthe shaft is the central rod on which the armature rotates. The commutator is the part that transfers the power too or from the moving windings in the armature to the static part of the motor or generator (either too or from the electricity supply).


What is a DC shunt motor?
