ALTERNATING-CURRENT GENERATORSИ

The principles underlying magnetism, electromagnetism and electromagnetic induction are combined in the creation of electrical energy from mechanical energy (generators) and in the creation of mechanical energy from electrical energy (motors).

The generator consists of an outer frame or yoke to which are attached the pole pieces, always even in number, about which are erected the field windings. A cylinder of laminated iron called the armature, with longitudinal slots to contain the armature coils, is mounted on bearings so that it can rotate in the magnetic field set up by the pole pieces. One end of the armature terminates in a pair of slip rings. These are solid brass alloy

rings fixed to the armature, the respective armature coil terminals being connected to each ring. Carbon brushes rest upon the slip rings in order to provide the current with a path to an exteranl circuit.

We know the field poles to be wound with wire in such a direction that the magnetic field strength is increased when direct current from an Сoutside source is supplied to the field windings. A variable resistance, referred to as a field rheostat, is placed in this circuit to permit control of the

field strength.

Armature. The armature of a generator is rotated in the magnetic field between the field poles by some mechanical device. This may be a steam engine, a gasoline engine, an electric motor or some other agency. The rotation of the armature upon which the armature coils are wound causes the coils to cut the magnetic lines of force between the field poles.

и Inasmuch asбАthe direction of electron flow is determined by the direction

of conductor movement in relation to magnetic flux, current will flow in opposite directions in the opposite coil sides. This occurs because during one half revolution one side is moving up through the field, the other side moving down through it. In the next half revolution, however, the first side moves down through the field, while the second moves up. It is apparent that alternating current is generated and fed through the slip rings and brushes to the external circuit.

Frequency. The number of times per second the current reverses it-

self is known to be its frequency and is determined by the speed of the armature and the number of field poles. Thus a generator with two sets of field poles, whose armature turns 1 complete revolution per second (rps), would have frequency of 2 cycles. With one set of field poles, an armature must turn 2 rps to attain the same frequency.

1.Having determined the number of amperes and the number of volts, we can find the resistance of the coil by using Ohm’s law. 2. Practically all the resistance is in the cell itself, the resistance of the ammeter being too small to be considered. 3. A part of the energy delivered to any motor or generator is lost within the machine itself, being converted into heat and wasted.

4.The conductor being wound into a coil, the fields about each turn combine and create a strong magnetic field about the coil. 5. One may say that the relative motion of both the flux and the conductor determines the e. m. f. induced. 6. Having been carefully tested the device was put into operation.

Any material, like glass which allows light to go throgh it, so that objects can be distinctly seen, is called transparent, water and air being the most common transparent substances. 11. Sound travels at a speed of 1,090 feet per second in air at 0 C, the speed increasing about 2 feet per second for

An electric field is also said to exist in any region of free space where a charge, if placed there, would have a force exerted upon it tendingиto move it. 14. In any electrical conductor or system in which there is a flow of current there is a certain amount of energy continually being lost or converted into forms not readily available for use. 15. The atoms and electrons an any material are ordinarily in a rapid vibratory motion, the velocity of their motion beingбАa function of temperature. 16. The force is in the direction of the field at the point considered, the electron tending to move toward the positive. 17. If the coil of the second circuit is closed (its two terminals being connected together) current will flow whenever the flux through the coil is changing. 18. The current decreasing, the induced voltage assists the generator voltage and the total effective voltage in the current is 2300 volts. 19. A number of resistances being in series, the total resistance will be the sum of the individual resistance. 20. Cooling may be obtained by movement of a body through the air,as in a revolving armature.

POLYPHASE INDUCTION MOTORS Induction-Motor Principle. In the electric motor, conversion of

electrical power (or energy) to mechanical power (or energy) is known to take place in the rotating part of the machine. In the d-c motor and in one type of a-c motors, the electrical power is conducted directly to the rotor through brushes and a commutator; in this respect it is possible to desig-

analysis proceeds, that it will be extremelyДuseful to think of an induction motor as a sort of rotating transformer, i.e., one in which a stationary winding is connected to the a-c source, while the other winding, mounted on a structure that is free to turn, receives its power by transformer action while it rotates.

nate such a machine as a conduction motor. In the most common type of a- c motors electrical power is not conducted to the rotor directly; the rotor receives its power inductively in exactly the same way as the secondary of

a transformer receives its power. It is for this reason that motors of this

type are known as induction motors. In fact, it will become apparent, as the И

The principle of the induction motor was first discovered in 1824, when the following interesting phenomenon was shown: if a non-magnetic disk and a compass are pivoted with their axes parallel, so that one or both of the compass poles are located near the edge of the disk, the compass will rotate if the disk is made to spin, or the disk will rotate if the compass is made to spin. The direction of the induced rotation in one element is always the same as that imparted to the other. Such an experiment can be
