generators have two types of winding ,

* at armature also called armature winding( winding around shaft , we can say), which is the moving part. note that armature also consists of magnets along with windings. hence produces field arount it.

* and at stator also called field winding, because when armature rotates its flux(field) is cutted by the stator windings and produces mutually induced e.m.f in it( in stator windings off course) causing current to flow.

this current also produces some electric field around it which is in return cutted by the armature windings hince a little amount of e.m.f ( also called back e.m.f) produced in armature due to stator winding current.

know this current in armature (due to back e.m.f produced by stator winding) produces additional field , hence causing more current in stator winding. this is the reason that why stator windings are called field winding( as they cause electric field of armature stronger and cause more current in output).

note that out put is taken from the stator windings in generators.

How do you determine which windings are field on a series DC motor?

Both the supply wires that enter a series motor is the field windings the field is split in two and is connected at the split to the brushes that is connected to the commentator of the armature, so the current pass thru the first half of the field then thru the armature and then thru the other half of the field. With a parallel DC motor the two fields is in series and the two wires is connected to the brushes so is the supply.


What are Interpol winding's in a dc motor?

Interpol winding in a DC motor refers to the additional winding placed between the main field windings to improve magnetic field distribution and enhance performance. These windings help reduce armature reaction and provide better commutation, thereby minimizing sparking at the brushes. Interpol windings contribute to a more uniform torque production and improved efficiency of the motor.


How speed increases when flux decreases in dc shunt motor?

Increasing flux, torque of the dc motor will be increased and speed of the dc motor will be decreased as speed of the dc motor is inversely proportional to that of the flux and the torque of the dc motor is directly proportional to the flux.


What is the working principle of a DC shunt motor?

To ensure that the Lathe machine's motor working properly, DC motor starter is added in which it used to protect motor against damage from: • short-circuit, • long term overload, • excessive starting current, and yet to made the operating speed of motor easily to be control by operator. During starting, the motor is not turning, hence there is no internal voltage .The internal resistance is very low and thus the current flow through is very high. This condition may cause damage to the motor Hence, a staring resistor is added in which connect in series with the armature to limit the current flow until the internal voltage of motor is increasing to do the limiting. In order to prevent losses as the speed of the motor is build up; the starting resistor should be removed


If you crank the shaft of a dc motor manually will the motor become a dc generator?

It depends on both the wiring of the motor and what if any residual magnetic field remains in the field windings. If there is some residual field, you will get some volts, but not many. If the motor has permanent magnets, it is effectively a dynamo.

How do commutating field windings cope with the effect of armature reaction?

Commutating field windings are connected in series with the armature windings so that the current flowing in the coils is always equal to the armature current. The number of turns in the commutating field windings are also equal to the number of armature turns. This means that the field strength of the commutating windings and the field strength of the armature are always equal. A DC motor is constructed so that these two fields of equal strength oppose one another, they therefore cancel one another out. The main field is now unaffected by armature reaction.


What is interpole winding in DC machine?

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 shunt and series motor?

A series motor is one in which the field windings are in series with the armature windings. So the torque is proportional to the square of the supply current.'Shunt' is an archaic term for 'parallel'. So a shunt motor is one in which the field winding is in parallel with the armature windings. So the torque is proportional to the supply current.


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 is armature reaction in dc machines?

Armature reaction is the phenomenon in DC machines where the magnetic field produced by the current flowing in the armature windings interacts with the main magnetic field produced by the field windings. This interaction can distort the main magnetic field, causing changes in the machine's performance such as voltage regulation and torque production. Measures such as interpoles or compensating windings are used to counteract the effects of armature reaction in DC machines.

What is shunt current and a armature current?

The terms 'shunt' and 'armature' apply to a particular type of d.c. motor, in which the field windings are connected in parallel with the armature windings. 'Shunt' is an archaic term for 'parallel', so the term 'shunt', in this context, means that the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature winding. The terms 'shunt current' and 'armature current', then describe the currents flowing in the shunt winding and armature winding, respectively.
