ElecticalQuestion 1: What is
Electrical machine?
Electrical machine is an electro
mechanical device which converts
input motive power ( prime mover like
turbine in case of generator or
electrical supply in case of dc motor)
to output motive power (Electrical
power in case of the generator or
mechanical output in case of motor).
This uses the principle of electro
magentic induction principle. Ads by Google
Electrical Question 2: What is Electrical
the advantage of DC motors DC Motors
over AC motors?

properties such as:
1. High Starting Torque
2. Excellent speed control capability
For traction applications in electrical trains and cranes motor drives require to
have high starting torque. DC series motor has very good starting torque
capabilities compared to induction motors and synchronous motors. So still in
present traction applications DC series motors are used
In some applications such as paper mills and roll mills speed control of the motor
drive should be accurate else the process will be failure. In such applications of
finer speed control DC shunt machines are widely used.
Electrical Question 3: What is the use of Commutator in DC
machine?
Answer:
Commutator is the part in DC machine that makes the difference from the ac
machine. In DC machine the current flow in the armature is ac. This current is
made uni directional with the help of commutator.
In ac machines slip rings are used to collect the armature current from the
armature and supply to the load. In DC machines this slip rings are replaced by
the split rings. Split rings consists of 2 conductor materials separated by insulating
material.
In first half cycle the induced current will be taken by the split rings or commutator
which is in one position.During the other half cycle when the induced current in the
armature changes the split rings position also changes results in the delivering the
unidirectional current to the external load.

Electrical Question 4: Explain essential parts of DC machine?
Essential parts of the dc machine are:
1. Field System
2. Armature
3. Commutator
4. Brushes
5. Brearings and Shaft

Electrical Question 5: Why field poles are laminated in DC

machine ?
Field poles of a dc machine is laminated in order to reduce the eddy currents.
Eddy currents are the circulating currents that are induced in the iron by the
alternating magnetic field. These eddy currents produced will create a flux which
opposes the main flux. So this eddy current production is considered as loss in the
dc machine.Hence in order to reduce this eddy current losses thin laminations are
considered and insulating coating is provided in between the laminations.
Electrical Questions 6: Do commutator convert ac to dc or dc to
ac ?
Commutator in a dc machine converts both ac to dc current and dc to ac current.
Consider the dc generator the current produced in the armature due to the electro
magnetic induction is ac. However commutator converts the bi directional current
to uni directional current and supplies the current the external load circuit.
In DC motor the voltage we apply at the terminals is dc. This dc current is
converted to ac and supply to the armature circuit so as to produce the rotational
torque.
Hence Commutator converts both ac to dc variables and dc to ac variables.

Electrical Question 7: Why armature teeth of DC machine is

skewed ?
The air gap length changes between the slot and teeth of the armature when the
armature is rotating under constant magnetic field. This results in the production of
small variation in the torque hence this results can be observed as small vibrations
in the frame of the machine. So in order to avoid this vibration effect armature
teeth is skewed.
