  2. Armature (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

    Armature reaction is essential in amplidyne rotating amplifiers. Armature reaction drop is the effect of a magnetic field on the distribution of the flux under main poles of a generator. [5] Since an armature is wound with coils of wire, a magnetic field is set up in the armature whenever a current flows in the coils.

  3. Stator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stator

    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). Energy flows through a stator to or from the rotating component of the system, the rotor .

  4. 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 ...

  5. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    The stator surrounds the rotor, and usually holds field magnets, which are either electromagnets (wire windings around a ferromagnetic iron core) or permanent magnets. These create a magnetic field that passes through the rotor armature, exerting force on the rotor windings. The stator core is made up of many thin metal sheets that are ...

  6. DC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_motor

    A series DC motor connects the armature and field windings in series with a common D.C. power source. The motor speed varies as a non-linear function of load torque and armature current; current is common to both the stator and rotor yielding current squared (I^2) behavior [citation needed].

  7. 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 ...

    root mean square The root mean square value of a waveform is the DC value that corresponds to equivalent heating value. rotary converter An electric machine that converts electric power between two forms, say, AC and DC or single-phase and three phase, or between two different frequencies of AC (the latter two can be performed by the same machine).

  9. Growler (electrical device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growler_(electrical_device)

    A hacksaw blade is commonly used as a feeler. The alternating magnetic field induced by a shorted armature is strong at the surface of the armature, and when the feeler is lightly touched to the iron core of an armature winding, small currents are induced in the feeler that generate a third alternating magnetic field surrounding the feeler.
