Those slots, or areas where metal was removed serve to balance the motor's armature. This is similar to the concept of "balancing" a wheel on a car.

Metal material is 'shaved' or notched ( removed) from the side of the armature which is too heavy, ( and causes a ' wobble' as the RPM's are increased.)

However, On a car, wheel weights are added to the OPPOSITE side of the wheel's heaviest spot of imbalance, until the wheel can be spun at a high speed, with no wobble.

Answer

The slots carry the armature conductors, while minimising the air gap between the rotor and and the stator (to minimise the reluctance of the magnetic circuit)!

They have nothing to do with 'balancing' the armature.

What is commutation in DC machines?

It is the process of conversion of generated ac voltage into the armature of a dc generator to dc voltage at the terminal of the dc generator by use of pair of brushes and commutator.

Does a stick welder run on ac or DC?

For output, either one. Most machines produce Direct Current DC. It is much easier to use and most electrodes can be used with DC. Almost all use Alternating Current AC for a power source - input. Hope this helps.


Why DC motors and DC generators are commonly known as DC machines?

because the dc motor will act as dc generator as same as dc generator acts as a dc motor .so it is called as dc machines.AnswerBecause generators and motors are machines, and operate on d.c.'A.C. machines' are generators, transformers, and motors which operate on a.c.


How do you convert a DC motor to a generator?
