Principle of Generator Action
Requires:
• The presence of magnetic lines of force
• motion of conductors cutting the flux
• (before) voltage is generated
Faraday’s law
Where:
Eave = average generated voltage in a conductor
Φ = total flux cut
t = time (s), during which cutting takes place
Example
Where:
Eg = total generated voltage
Φ = flux per pole, maxwells
P = number of poles
rpm = speed of armature, revolution per minute
Z = total no. of armature conductor effectively used to add to resulting voltage
a = no. of armature paths connected in parallel (determined by type of armature
winding)
Example
Where:
• B’ = flux density, lines per square
centimetre
• I = current in conductor, amp
• L’ = length of conductor, cm
Force and Torque developed by
D-C Motors
Where:
◻ B = flux density, lines per square inch
