Electrical Machines
The devices which convert electrical
energy to mechanical energy & which
convert mechanical energy to electrical
energy.
Electrical Mechanical
Electrical machines are classified in two
major classes:
1- Motors.
2- Generators.
Motors:
A motor is an electrical machine which
converts electrical energy to mechanical
energy.
Electrical Mechanical
When a current carrying wire is placed in
magnetic field, a force is induced in the wire.
A motor exactly works on the same
principle. However, real motors involve
complex design and construction with
multiple parts.
Generators:
A generator is an electrical machine which
converts mechanical energy to electrical
energy.
Mechanical Electrical.
When a moving wire is placed in magnetic
field, a voltage is induced in the wire.
A generator exactly works on the same
principle. However, real generators involve
complex design and construction with
multiple parts.
DC Motor
Electrical motor: It is a machine which convert
electrical energy into mechanical energy.
• AC Motor: motor that runs on alternating current
(AC) electricity.
• DC Motor: motor that runs on direct current (DC)
electricity.
Construction of DC Motor:
Function of each part of DC Motor:
Yoke:
• It is outer cover of dc motor also called as frame.
• It provides protection to the rotating and other
part of the machine from moisture, dust etc.
• Yoke is an iron body which provides the path for
the flux to complete the magnetic circuit.
• It provides the mechanical support for the poles.
• Material Used: low reluctance material such as
cast iron, silicon steel, rolled steel, cast steel etc.
Poles, and pole core:
• Poles are electromagnet, the field winding is wound
over it.
• It produces the magnetic flux when the field winding
is excited.
• The construction of pole is done using the lamination
of particular shape to reduce the power loss due to
eddy current.
Pole shoe:
• Pole shoe is an extended part of a pole. Due to its
typical shape, it enlarges the area of the pole, so that
more flux can pass through the air gap to armature.
• Material Used: low reluctance magnetic material
such as cast steel or cast iron is used for construction of
pole and pole shoe.
Field winding:
• The coil wound on the pole core are called field
coils.
• Field coils are connected in series to form field
winding.
• Current is passed through the field winding in a
specific direction, to magnetize the poles and pole
shoes. Thus magnetic flux is produce in the air gap
between the pole shoe and armature.
• Field winding is also called as exciting winding.
• Material Used for copper conductor is copper.
• Due to the current flowing through the field
winding alternate N and S poles are produced.
Armature core:
𝑉 = 𝐸𝑏 + 𝐼𝑎𝑅𝑎
If we multiply the above equation by 𝐼𝑎, we will get
• 𝑉𝐼𝑎 = 𝐸𝑏𝐼𝑎 + 𝐼𝑎2𝑅𝑎
• 𝑉𝐼𝑎 = 𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑡h𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟
• 𝐸𝑏𝐼𝑎 = 𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡h𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑐h𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟
produced 𝑏𝑦 𝑡h𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟
• 𝐼𝑎2𝑅𝑎=𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔
Thus,
• 𝐸𝑏𝐼𝑎 = 𝑉𝐼𝑎 − 𝐼𝑎2𝑅𝑎
=input power-power loss
Therefore, 𝐸𝑏𝐼𝑎= Gross mechanical power produce by the
motor = Pm
