and
Component

Function / Purpose

Commutator

It serves as rectifier and collects the current

generated in armature conductors.

Armature Core

The armature is built up of thin laminated

circular steel disk for reducing edgy current
losses.

Armature Coil
Field Winding
Armature Winding

It is responsible for cutting flux or motion.

They are usually made of copper. Field coils
are former wound placed on each pole.
It is usually a former wound copper coils
which rest in armature slots.

Shaft

A rotating machine element used to transmit

power.

Axle

A shaft around which where it rotates.

It collects the current from the commutator.

Pole Coil

It serves as conductor to spread out the flux

in air gap uniformly.

Pole Shoe

It carries out field windings and supports field

coil.

The electrical machine like motor or generator, consist of two basic electrical parts. The
constant changes and process help the whole cycle to be functional. The rotor and stator are
the two basic parts that consisted by other components.
Each component has the purpose to withstand the flow of current to be able produce a
magnetic flux.

Conclusion
I therefore conclude that the commutator acts as mechanical rectifier. Commutator is the
only part that differs from the generator and motor. Before the invention of semi-conductors
rectification at high currents involve serious losses.

Question(s) and Answer(s):

9.1 Discuss the operating principle of mechanical rectifier.
9.2 A four-pole motor has an armature having 276 conductors. Each pole face is designed and
constructed with 25 square inches with flux density of 47500 lines per square inch. If the
armature current is designed at 75 amperes and the construction of windings is 2 parallel
paths, verify the torque in this motor.
9.3 During the operation of DC motor and DC generator, explain how rotor and stator works.
9.4 The car of Light Railway Transit (LRT) is propelled by 660 volt DC motor connected to DC
feeder lines of rectifier station. The car is required to exert a tractive effort of 4500kg at a
velocity of 50km/hr. How much the current will be drawn from the feeder lines if the overall
efficiency of motor and flywheel is 65%?
