    Introduction

    23.1

    In this lecture we consider various forms of rotating electrical machines These can be divided into:
    generators which convert mechanical energy into electrical energy motors which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy

    Both types operate through the interaction between a magnetic field and a set of windings

    A Simple AC Generator

    23.2

    We noted earlier that Faradays law dictates that if a coil of N turns experiences a change in magnetic flux, then the induced voltage V is given by
    V N d dt

    If a coil of area A rotates with respect to a field B, and if at a particular time it is at an angle to the field, then the flux linking the coil is BAcos, and the rate of change of flux is given by
    d dsin d BA cos cos dt dt dt

    Thus for the arrangement shown below


    V N d dsin NBA NBA cos dt dt

    V N

    d dt

    Therefore this arrangement produces a sinusoidal output as shown below

    Wires connected to the rotating coil would get twisted Therefore we use circular slip rings with sliding contacts called brushes

    A Simple DC Generator

    23.3

    The alternating signal from the earlier AC generator could be converted to DC using a rectifier A more efficient approach is to replace the two slip rings with a single split slip ring called a commutator
    this is arranged so that connections to the coil are reversed as the voltage from the coil changes polarity hence the voltage across the brushes is of a single polarity

    adding additional coils produces a more constant output

    The ripple can be further reduced by the use of a cylindrical iron core and by shaping the pole pieces
    this produces an approximately uniform field in the narrow air gap the arrangement of coils and core is known as the armature

    DC Generators or Dynamos
    Practical DC generators or dynamos can take a number of forms depending on how the magnetic field is produced

    23.4

    can use a permanent magnet more often it is generated electrically using field coils
    current in the field coils can come from an external supply
    this is known as a separately excited generator

    but usually the field coils are driven from the generator output
    this is called a self-excited generator

    often use multiple poles held in place by a steel tube called the stator
