A conductor is 8 in long and carries a current of 140 ampere when placed perpendicularly to a magnetic field the
intensity of which is 58,000 lines per sq. in. Calculate the force exerted by the conductor.
Solution:
F= (58,000)(140)(8)sin(90)
11,300,000
F= 5.749 lbf
Parts of a Generator
1. Magnetic frame or yoke
2. Pole cores and Pole shoes
3. Pole coils and field coils
4. Armature Core
5. Armature winding or conductors
6. Commutator
7. Brushes and Bearings
Yoke
-
Provider mechanical support for the pole and act as a protecting cover for the machine
Carries the magnetic flux produce by the poles
They spread out the flux in the air gap and reduce the reluctance of the magnetic path
Support the exciting coils
Pole Coils
Are former- wound for the correct dimension, then the former is removed and wound coil is put into place
Armature Core
-
Commutator
-
Armature Windings
Pole Pitch
-
The periphery of the armature divided by the number of poles of the generator
Equal to the number of armature conductors per pole
Pole pitch = Z/P
Full Pitched
-
If the coil span is less than the pole pitch, then the winding is fractional pitched. In this case, there is a
phase difference the electro motive force in the two sides of the coil.
Pitch of a winding
-
Defined as the distance round the armature between two successive conductors which are directly
connected together Y
Y = YS YF Lap winding
Y = YB + YF Wave winding
Front Pitch(YF)
-
Lap Conditions
The back and front pitches are add of opposite sign. But they cannot be equal. They differ by 2 or some
multiple thereof
Both YB and YF should be nearly equal to pole pitch
The average pitch YA = YB + YF / 2. It equals to pole pitch = Z/P
YB = YF 2
Number of parallel paths is armature = mP
Where: m is the multiplicity winding
P is number of poles
a.) If YB> YF then YB=YF + 2 it is a progressive right winding
b.) If YB< YF then YB = YF 2 it is retrogressive left winding
Ex. Draw a develop diagram of a simple 2-layer lap-winding for a 4-pole generator within the coils.
Solution:
# ofcommutator segments = 16
# of conductors = 32
Pole pitch = Z/P = 32/4 = 8
YB = 8 + 1 = 9
Progressive winding
YF = 8 1 = -7
