Q: Name the parts of a DC machine?

A: The parts of a DC machine are
Armature
Stator
Poles
Commutator
Yoke
Windings
Interpoles
Compensating winding
Shaft and bearing
Carbon brushes.

Q1: Explain briefly the function of each part?

A: ARMATURE:-
It houses the armature windings and rotates so that winding cut the flux lines produced by main magnetic field and voltage is induced in
the windings.

STATOR:-
It carries the field magnetic and remains stationary. It also provides low reluctance path for the flux.

POLE:-
These are electromagnets which produce flux.

COMMUTATOR:-
It converts ac into dc It also acts a means of taking/giving supply to the rotating armature winding.

YOKE:
Outer part of the machine which protects the machine from external damage or which acts as a protecting covering for the whole
machine.

WINDINGS:
These are the conductors which out the magnetic flux and a voltage is induced in them.

INTERPOLES:
These are small poles between the main poles and are used to facilitate commutation.

COMPENSATING WINDINGS:
The armature field has two components i.e. demagnetizing and cross- magnetizing which weakens and distort the main field. The
compensating windings are used to compensate for these in large machines.

Q2: Explain the construction and material of construction of each part?

A: ARMATURE:-
It is made of silicon steel lamination. It has slots and teeth.

STATOR/YOKE:
It is usually made of cast steel.

ARMATURE WINDINGS:
These are made of copper.These are usually of two types.

1. Wave windings used for low current high voltage machines.

2. Lap windings used for huge current and low voltage machine.

INTERPOLES:
They have two parts i.e. windings which are made of copper wire and pole which is made of silicon steel.

COMPENSATING WINDINGS:
These are usually made of copper wire/ strip.

CARBON BRUSHES:
These are fixed on commentator which revolves around the armature. These are used for the collection of current generated in
armature windings.

COMMUTATOR:-
It is made of copper segments separated by mica insulation. The copper segments are usually equal to the number of coils in simplex
windings.

Onlinemcq.com will guide you how to be prepared for a job.

Saturation in every field for the job causes a great   
competition. So whenever you got call letter for job test or
interview. You tried to be prepared properly but you don't
know how to prepare and above that from where you get the
material. At this website, you can get information and
multiple choice questions regarding css , pms , FCPS , ECAT ,
MCAT , suparco and many other organizations to help you go
thorugh all aspects as well as past papers and if
unfortunatley no material available still you can ask for
information and this community of great people will guide
you.
