2. Electric Machine
Electric machines can be used as motors and
generators
Electric motor and generators are rotating energy-
transfer electromechanical motion devices
Electric motors convert electrical energy to
mechanical energy
Generators convert mechanical energy to electrical
energy
3. Electric Machine
Electric machines can be divided into 2 types:
AC machines
DC machines
Several types DC machines
Separately excited
Shunt connected
Series connected
Compound connected
Permanent magnet
4. Electric Machine
All Electric machines have:
Stationary members (stator)
rotating members (rotor)
Air gap which is separating stator and rotor
The rotor and stator are coupled magnetically

6. Electric Machine
The armature winding is placed in the rotor
slot and connected to rotating commutator
which rectifies the induced voltage
The brushes which are connected to the
armature winding, ride on commutator
8. Electric Machine
The armature winding consists of identical coils carried in
slots that are uniformly distributed around the periphery of the
rotor
Conventional DC machines are excited by direct current, in
particular if a voltage-fed converter is used a dc voltage uf is
supplied to the stationary field winding
Hence the excitation magnetic field is produced by the field
coils
Due to the commutator, armature and field windings produce
stationary magnetomotive forces that are displaced by 90
electrical degrees
9. The field winding is placed on the stator
and supplied from a DC Source.

14. The Field winding is placed on the stator
and the current (voltage) is induced in
the rotor winding which is referred also
as the armature winding.
In DC Machines, the mmfmmf produced by
the field winding and the mmfmmf produced
by the armature winding are at right-
angle with respect to each other.
The torque is produced from the
interaction of these two fields.

19. Electric Machine
Conventional separately excited DC electric machine
Stator and rotor windings excited by dc current
The rotor has the commutator
Dc voltage to the armature windings is supplied through the
brushes which establish electric contact with the commutator
The brushes are fixed with respect to the stator and they are placed
in the specified angular displacement
To maximize the electromagnetic torque, the stator and rotor
magnetic axes are displaced by 90 electrical degrees using a
commutator

20. Electric Machine
Electric machine can be either a motor or a generator
depending on whether it drives a load or it is driven by a prime
mover
The direction of the armature current is reversed when an
electric machine changes from motor to generator operation
However line voltage polarity, direction of rotation and field
current are the same
