ELECTRICAL MACHINES
Classification of DC machines
DC Generators
- Separately excited
- Armature reaction
CLASSIFICATION OF DC MACHINES
Several possible connections for field and armature circuits
- classification of DC machines is determined by the way
they are connected

DC GENERATORS
Armature Reaction
When armature current flows (i.e. terminal is connected to
the load), armature produces MMF
MMF produces results in flux which will ‘disturb’ field flux
DC GENERATORS
Armature Reaction
Flux at one side of the pole may saturate
Zero flux region shifted
Flux saturation, effective flux per pole decreases
DC GENERATORS
Armature Reaction
Ea
Eao= Vto without load current
With Ia, AR causes
reduction in Ea since flux
per pole decreases
Ea = Vt + IaRa
Ifield
DC GENERATORS
Armature Reaction
Vt = Ea - IaRa
As Ia increases, Ea
reduces due to AR
DC GENERATORS
Armature Reaction
Vt = Ea - IaRa
Ea = Vt + IaRa
Since AR causes a decrease in Ea , the effect of AR can be considered
as a reduction in field current
If(eff) = If(actual) – If(AR)
DC GENERATORS
Armature Reaction
The mmf produced by rotor can be neutralized using compensating winding
Armature current flows in
compensating winding will cancel out
mmf produced by armature winding
DC GENERATORS
Compensating winding
Expensive and normally installed
in large machines
