DC Machines: Lecture # 1

This document provides an overview of a simple loop DC generator. It discusses how a voltage is generated when a conductor moves through a magnetic field, cutting magnetic flux lines. It also describes Fleming's right hand rule for determining the direction of induced current. The key component is the commutator, which reverses the connections to the coil sides during each half revolution, ensuring the current through the load always flows in the same direction, producing a DC voltage.

Simple Loop Generator
“Whenever a conductor is moved within a
magnetic field in such a way that the
conductor cuts the magnetic lines of flux,
voltage is generated in the conductor”.

• When conductor is in parallel with flux lines,
no cutting of flux lines and hence no EMF
induced. induced when conductors are in
parallel with flux lines.

5
• Maximum EMF induced when conductor is
perpendicular to flux lines.

Fleming’s Right Hand Rule

• The coil sides AB and CD are under N-pole and S-
pole respectively. Note that segment C1 connects
the coil side AB to point P of the load resistance R
and the segment C2 connects the coil side CD to
point Q of the load. Also note the direction of
current through load. It is from Q to P.
• After half a revolution of the loop (i.e., 180°
rotation), the coil side AB is under S-pole and the
coil side CD under N-pole. The currents in the coil
sides now flow in the reverse direction but the
segments C1 and C2 have also moved through
180° i.e., segment C1 is now in contact with + ve
brush and segment C2 in contact with - ve brush.

• Note that commutator has reversed the coil
connections to the load i.e., coil side AB is
now connected to point Q of the load and coil
side CD to the point P of the load. Also note
the direction of current through the load. It is
again from Q to P.
• Voltage appearing across brushes varies from
zero to maximum value and back to zero twice
for each revolution of the loop.
