A. Field System
1. Field Windings: Provides the magnetic field (flux)
Made of copper wire

2. Pole Core: Field windings are mounted on pole core.

Made of thin steel laminations to reduce loss

3. Pole Shoe : Provides uniform distribution of magnetic flux

Made of thin steel laminations to reduce loss

4. Yoke: Provides path for magnetic flux

Made of thin steel laminations to reduce loss

B. Armature System
The armature system is mounted on the shaft which rotates
1. Armature Windings:
-- Provides emf when used as generator.
-- Rotates the shaft and provides torque when used as motor.
-- Made of copper wire.

2. Armature Core:
-- Armature core is mounted on shaft.
-- Armature conductors (windings) are mounted in slots of
armature core.
-- Cylindrical , made of thin steel laminations to reduce loss
