  2. Armature (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_(electrical)

    When the machine is used as a generator, the armature EMF drives the armature current, and the shaft's movement is converted to electrical power. In an induction generator, generated power is drawn from the stator. A growler is used to check the armature for short and open circuits and leakages to ground.

  3. Armature Controlled DC Motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_Controlled_DC_Motor

    Armature control is the most common control technique for DC motors. In order to implement this control, the stator flux must be kept constant. To achieve this, either the stator voltage is kept constant or the stator coils are replaced by a permanent magnet. In the latter case, the motor is said to be a permanent magnet DC motor and is driven ...

  4. Commutator (electric) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutator_(electric)

    For a single armature winding, when the shaft has made one-half complete turn, the winding is now connected so that current flows through it in the opposite of the initial direction. In a motor, the armature current causes the fixed magnetic field to exert a rotational force, or a torque, on the winding to make it turn. In a generator, the ...

  5. Stator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stator

    Rotor (lower left) and stator (upper right) of an electric motor Stator of a 3-phase AC-motor Stator of a brushless DC motor from computer cooler fan.. The stator is the stationary part of a rotary system, [1] found in electric generators, electric motors, sirens, mud motors, or biological rotors (such as bacterial flagella or ATP synthase).

  6. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

    The coil is shaped such that the armature can be moved in and out of the space in the center of the coil, altering the coil's inductance and thereby becoming an electromagnet. The movement of the armature is used to provide a mechanical force to some mechanism, such as controlling a solenoid valve. Although typically weak over anything but very ...

  7. Repulsion motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repulsion_motor

    The armature is connected to a commutator and brushes. The brushes are short circuited using a low-resistance jumper. When alternating current is supplied to the field (stator) winding, it induces an electromotive force (emf) in the armature. The direction of alternating current is such that it creates a north pole at the top and a south pole ...

    Retirement opens up a new chapter in life, often filled with travel and leisure activities. Gifting a retiree a new car can help them travel easily and safely. But if you can't decide on the right ...

  9. DC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_motor

    Workings of a brushed electric motor with a two-pole rotor (armature) and permanent magnet stator. "N" and "S" designate polarities on the inside axis faces of the magnets; the outside faces have opposite polarities. The + and -signs show where the DC current is applied to the commutator which supplies current to the armature coils
