  1. Induction Motor and Synchronous Generator
  1. DC Motor and DC Generator

A. Transformer

B. Rotating magnetic field

PRINCIPLES

PARTS

Core

Made up of ferromagnetic material

Coils

Three phase transformer

Single Phase Transformer

combinations of three single phase transformers but in different coil configuration

High voltage winding (connect in star configuration)

Low voltage winding (connect in delta configuration)

Faraday's Law

A varying magnetic flux associated with the loop, induced an electromotive force (emf) across it.

FORMULAS

3.Es = es x Ns

1. ep=es
since magnetic flux passing through primary and secondary coil is the same

2. ep= Ep/Np

4. Es = (Ep/Np) Ns

5.Step up

6.Step down

Ns > Np

Es > Ep

Ns < Np

Es < Ep

To reduce energy loss (dissipate as heat)

FORMULAS

Speed of rotation of magnetic field = synchronous speed, ws

PRINCIPLES

Orientation of magnetic field changes with current, but its magnitude remains the same.

ws = (4πf) / P
unit= rad/sec
f=frequency of AC current P=number of poles

When P increases, ws will decreases

PARTS

Coils arranged 120 degrees apart

A. DC Generator (Mechanical energy to electrical energy)

B. DC Motor (Electrical energy to mechanical energy)

Facillitate the collection of currents

Convert AC current into unidirectional current

Collect current from commutator

Mechanical support for the poles

Provides a constant magnetic field

When currents flow through coil, emf is induced on it

Highly permeable steel layers

Enhance magnetic flux interaction

Help to maintain contact with the power source

FORMULAS

F= qV x B

I = (EMFin - EMFback) / R

EMF back directly proportional to Speed of motor

IMPORTANT PARTS

Armature coils

The place where electricity induced from magnetic field

Made by iron core : To enhance magnetic flux transfer

Rotor

Induces rotating magnetic field and AC current

Made by fixed steel lamina (reduce energy current losses due to eddy current)

Slip ring

Supply DC current to rotor from DC Generator

Auto voltage Regulator

Control current field

Increase the current field if thermal magnetic field is below desired limit.

PRINCIPLES

FORMULAS

Ampere's Law

Faraday's Law

Supply current from slip rings produce magnetic field

Induces current when there is varying magnetic field

Current magnitude is proportional to the rate change of magnetic flux

Strentgh of magnetic flux (depends on current produced)

PHENOMENON

consider: magnetic field (rotating), armature coil (stationary)

Magnetic field results in magnetic flux cutting the stationary armature coil

emf induced
