Types of Dc Machines

Following are three types of dc machines:

1) DC generator:

“Energy can be converted from one form to other form”

It is rotated by prime mover and produces a dc voltage. i.e. Convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.

2) DC Motor :

It receives energy from a dc voltage source and rotates at Speed proportional to the applied voltage i.e .converts electrical energy into a mechanical energy.

3) Windings :

In DC machine there are two windings :

Draw wave of DC generator in following Case.
