 INTRODUCTION
size of the DC machine depends on the main or leading dimensions
of the machine viz., diameter of the armature D and armature core
length L.
As the output increases, the main dimensions of the machine D and
L also increases.

 Output Equations and Main
Dimensions of DC Machine
Pa = power developed by armature in kW
P = rating of machine in kW
E = generated emf, volts; V = terminal voltage, volts
P = number of poles; Ia= armature current , A
Iz = current in each conductor, A
a = number of parallel path; Z = number of armature conductor
N = speed in rpm; n= speed in rps
D = armature diameter, m ; L = core length, m
= flux per pole, Weber; p= pole pitch

Pa= power developed by armature in kW

= E x Ia x 10-3
And E = p Zn/a

 Output Equations and Main
Dimensions of DC Machine
Thus Pa = (p Z n)/a x Ia x 10-3 = (p) (IaZ/a) n x 10-3
= (p) (IzZ) n x 10-3 since Ia/a = Iz

Now p = total magnetic loading

And Bav = (p)/( D L) or p = Bav x D L

ac = specific electric loading = (Iz x Z)/ D

or Iz Z = ac D

From above equations

Pa = (Bav DL) (ac D) n x 10-3
= ( 2 Bav ac 10-3) D2 Ln
= co D2 Ln where co= 2 Bav ac 10-3 = output coefficient
Also

D2L = (1/ co) (P/) Pa = P/ = efficiency of machine
