Emf Equation of a DC Machine
• EMF induced in DC machine depend on
• the speed at which the conductors are rotated in the magnetic
field,
• the total number of conductors connected in series, and
• the total magnetic field flux being cut by the conductors
Emf Equation of a DC Machine
• Let us assume the following:
No. of poles = P.
Flux per pole = ϕ Wb.
Speed of the driving prime mover = N rpm.
Actual number of armature conductors = Z.
Number of parallel paths of the armature winding = A.
When the conductor makes 1 revolution, the flux cut by the conductor
= Pϕ Wbs
Emf Equation of a DC Machine
The conductor is rotating at a speed of N rpm or N/60 rps (revolutions
per second)

If Z is the total number of armature conductors and they are connected
in A number of parallel paths, the total number of conductors per
parallel path would be equal to Z/A.
