The series winding takes the full load current of the generator. So it require only a few turns to produce the required magnetic field and so the resistance is lower.

What is interpole winding in DC machine?

For a D.C motor it is the field windings which must always be in series with the armature windings.


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 .


What would the power loss be if the series field winding of dc motor connected directly across the 240 V dc supply?

Detailed Solution. For a constant back emf, flux is inversely proportional to the speed of the motor. If field winding is disconnected accidentally, the speed would dangerously increase in order to maintain the back emf of the motor


What field setting for a dc shunt motor wired in series on high voltage?

A shunt dc motor has quite different characteristics from a series motor. Wired in series, the same current passes through the armature and the field winding and it is most unlikely that a shunt motor would have a field winding that is suitable for this. Therefore a shunt motor cannot be wired as a series motor in general because its field winding is designed for only a small current.


What is the function of field winding in DC generator?

The motor needs the current and magnetic flux to create motion The magnetic field is created by field winding where as armature carries the current resulting into the rotation of armature

What is the number of turn in single phase motor?

If you really do mean the number of 'turns', then you cannot really determine this, as it is determined as a part of its design process and can vary considerably from machine to machine.If, on the other hand, you actually mean 'windings' ('coils') then, typically, there are two: the 'main winding' and the 'auxiliary winding'. The purpose of the auxiliary winding is to supply a magnetic field that is out of phase with the main winding and which then results in a rotating magnetic field necessary to start the motor and turn in in the desired direction.


Why armature winding resistance is less than field winding resistance?

An 'armature winding' is the rotor winding, and the 'field winding' is the stator winding.


What is the need to place series field winding and main field winding in different methods in compound generators?

Compound motor is designed to drive interim loads with high torque just like a drilling machine. So it has both series nd shunt windings. A series winding helps to drive the load with high desired torque nd shunt winding limits the infinately increasing torque to constant torque when load is removed nd maintains constant torque when driving the load. To get a clear understanding take assume this situation with that of a driller, where the load is not constant nd heavy


What Generator has shunt windings and series windings?

A 'compund wound' dc generator has shunt winding and a series winding. The shunt winding has a high resistance, and draws only a small current from the armature, but as it has many turns of wire on it, it generates a strong magnetic field. The series winding has only a few turns of wire on it, and, even though it has a large current in it, its magnetic field is usually less than that of the shunt field. Because of this, the compound generator behaves in most ways like a shunt generator, and is controlled in the same way. As it is self-excited, the compound wound generator requires 'residual flux' to start the generating process. The series winding, if connected to AID the shunt field, can boost the field flux as load comes onto the machine and correct for the normal 'droop' in output voltage as the load increases. If set up properly, this correction makes the generator self-regulating. Because the fields aid each-other, this connection is called 'cumulative compounded'. This type of machine is the workhorse of the larger generator market. If the series field winding is connected so it's field OPPOSES the shunt field, then the output voltage of the generator collapses as the machine is loaded up. This connection is referred to as 'differential compounded', and is only used for arc welding generators - they have a high voltage before the arc is struck; a fairly low voltage during welding operations, and if the rod sticks to the work, they shut the generator down without damaging it.


What is another name used to identify field pole windings?

Field pole winding is also called Field coil. Field coil is an electromagnet used to generate a magnetic field in an electromagnetic machine, typically a rotating electrical machine such as a motor or generator.


What is the function of field winding in DC generator?
