Electrical Machines Introduction

Rotating electrical machines can be classified as generators or motors. Generators convert mechanical energy to electrical energy, while motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. The main parts of rotating electrical machines are the rotor, which rotates, and the stator, which is stationary. Both the stator and rotor contain copper windings that are essential for operation. Generators and motors come in different types that vary in how their field windings are excited, leading to differences in their output or operating characteristics.

Electrical Machinery

Generalization
Rotating Electrical Machines
A rotating electrical machines are classified into two.

1. Generators
- convert mechanical energy to electrical
energy.

2. Motors
-convert electrical energy to mechanical -
energy.
Two important parts of Rotating
Electric Machines

1. Rotor
- Rotating part

2. Stator
- Stationary part

NOTE:
The stator and rotor of rotating electrical machines are basically made
of copper winding.. They are copper wires wound in the cores of the
machines. Both windings are the most essential element in
generator/motor operation.
Figure 1 Basic Illustration of an electrical machine

The figure shows the basic illustration of a dc


generator. The stator (field pole) produces the
south seeking flux represented by an arrow. The
rotor on the other hand (which is free to rotate)
is illustrated by a single coil where the voltage of
the generator is produced.
▪In the DC generator
- Armature Winding is the Rotor
- Field Winding are the Stator
THE STATOR

Field core

Field winding

Field pole
Field winding is properly wound in the stator core.
It’s sole purpose is to produce electromagnetic flux
THE ROTOR

Armature
Armature winding is properly wound in the armature
core. Its main purpose is to cut the stator flux
TYPES OF DIRECT-CURRENT
GENERATOR
✓ Series Generators
✓ Shunt Generators
✓ Compound Generators

The three types of generators have basically the same


construction. They only differ on the manner their respective field
winding is excited. Take note that they display different output
voltage characteristics.
TYPES OF DIRECT-CURRENT
MOTOR
✓ Series Motor
✓ Shunt Motor
✓ Compound Motor

The three types of motors have basically the same construction.


They only differ on the manner their respective field winding is
excited. Take note that they display different operating speed
behavior.
