1.4 ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION

When a conductor is moved across a magnetic
field so as to cut through the flux,
an electromagnetic force (e.m.f.) is produced
in the conductor. This effect is known as
electromagnetic induction. The effect of
electromagnetic induction will cause
induced current.

The Princple of the DC Generator

The Princple of the AC Generator

 Whenever a conductor is moved within a

magnetic field in such a way that the
conductor cuts across magnetic lines of
flux, voltage is generated in the conductor.
- Faradays Law

 The POLARITY of the voltage depends on

the direction of the magnetic lines of flux
and the direction of movement of the
conductor. To determine the direction of
current in a given situation, the RIHGT-HAND
RULE FOR GENERATORS is used.

Right-Hand Rule

 The AMOUNT of voltage generated

depends on :
i. the strength of the magnetic field,
ii. the angle at which the conductor cuts
the magnetic field,
iii. the speed at which the conductor is
moved, and
iv. the length of the conductor within the
magnetic field.

2.4 Power Losses and Efficiency

For any type of machine, output power is
different from input power. The difference is
caused by power losses that had happened
whenever one type of energy is converted
or delivered to the other type.

The principal losses of machine are:

Copper loss ( I2R )
Iron losses, due to hysteresis and eddy
current
Friction and windage losses
Brush and contact losses ( vB )

2.4.1. Efficiency of DC generator

The efficiency of an electrical
machine is the ratio of the output
power and input. The greek letter

efficiency has no units.

3. 3 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Flemings Left Hand Rule

When a wire carrying current sits into a magnetic field, a

force is created on the wire causing it to move
perpendicular ( tegak lurus ) to the magnetic field. The
greater the current in the wire, or the greater the magnetic
field, the faster the wire moves because of the greater
force created. If the wire sits parallel with the magnetic
field, there will be no force on the wire.
