FEATURES OF

ROTATING MACHINES
TYPES OF ROTATING MACHINES

(A) DC MACHINES (C) SYCHRONOUS MACHINES

-Field is on stator -Field is on rotor
-Armature is on rotor - Armature is on stator

(B) INDUCTION MACHINES

-Field is on stator

-Armature is on rotor
COMMON FEATURES
 TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

• CONSTRUCTIONAL FEATURES: There are two mechanical

parts of every rotating machines.

-Rotor: inner rotating member

-Stator: outer stationary member
TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

• OPERATIONAL FEATURES : There are two main parts.

-Field : Incorporates field windings when excited field produces the
main flux (primary source of flux).

-Armature : Incorporates the armature windings. This is the side at

which the work is done. Armature react upon the field to produce
motoring or generating torques.

VOLTAGE GENERATION IN ROTATING MACHINE
VOLTAGE GENERATION IN ROTATING MACHINE
IN ROTATING MACHINES,VOLTAGES ARE GENERATED IN
WINDINGS OR GROUPS OF COILS

• by rotating these windings mechanically through a magnetic field,

• by mechanically rotating a magnetic field past the winding,
• by designing the magnetic circuit so that the reluctance varies with rotation of the rotor.
• By any of these methods, the flux linking a specific coil is changed cyclically, and a time-
varying voltage is generated.

ELECTRICAL POWER AND MECHANICAL POWER

• The electrical power flowing INTO a DC motor, or the electrical power flowing OUT OF a
DC generator can be calculated by simply multiplying the armature voltage (usually the
terminal voltage) by the armature current, or

• The mechanical power flowing OUT OF a DC motor, or the mechanical power flowing INTO
a DC generator can be calculated by simply multiplying the angular shaft speed (in radians per
second) by the shaft torque (in Newton-meters), with the power value resulting in Watts, or
SPEED OF A MACHINE

• The speed of a machine is usually expressed in revolutions (rotations) per minute, or

rpm for short; and labeled as “n” in the equations. However, the angular speed, ω, which is
used in the mechanical power equation, should be given in radians per second. This unit
conversion is simply made by using the following relation;
