There are losses associated with both, but I don't think that's what you're getting at. The power applied to the field winding, typically on the rotor of a generator, is used to turn the field winding into an electromagnet; This electromagnet is forced to spin, which induces a current in the armature windings. This induced current is the power output from the generator. So a little power is lost/used in the field winding to convert the kinetic energy from the turbine into electric energy.

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.


Why are the compensating winding used in dc motor?

compensating winding is used for equal load sharing of two generators running in parallel. while interpole winding is used to minimise the effect of armature reaction by supporting the main field.


What are field windings and armature windings in a dc motor and generator?

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.

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.

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

In electrical machines such as motors and generators, the field winding is responsible for producing a magnetic field within the machine. This magnetic field interacts with the armature winding, which carries the electric current and generates mechanical power. The field winding typically has fewer turns of thicker wire compared to the armature winding, which has more turns of thinner wire to handle higher currents.

What is the difference between armature reaction and armature reactance?

armature reactant means loss in armature associated with inductive properties of the coil, while armature reaction include losses due to magnetizing component of current flowing through armature.


What is armature reaction in dc motor?

Armature reaction is effect of armature flux on main field flux. Basically there are two windings in a dc motor - Armature winding (on stator) and field winding (on rotor). When we excite the field winding, it produces a flux which links with the armature. This causes an emf and hence a current in the armature. This current in armature produces another flux which lags the main flux. This is referred to as armature reaction. It has two effects on the machine: 1. Demagnetising effect: It reduces the strength of the main flux. 2. Crossmagnetising effect: Its effect is that it bends/distortes the the main flux line along the conductor


What is the function of armature winding?

The winding function of an electric motor is a description of how the number of conductors in the windings around the motor changes with position.
