D.C. GENERATOR


  • Definition
DC generator is device which converts mechanical energy to in form of electrical energy.
  • Principal
D.C. generator work on principal of electromagnetic induction. Whenever flux is cut by the conductor dynamically induced emf is produced in it.

  • Basic component of d.c. generator are as below
  1. Conductor 
  2. Magnetic field

  • For produce dynamically induced emf, three portions are needed
  1. Magnetic field  
  2. Conductors 
  3. Motion of conductor 

  • Magnetic field produce magnetic flux in the machine. The dynamically induced emf produced in the conductor will cause a flow of electric current in it, if the conductor circuit is closed.
  • Working

  • The emf induced in the armature conductors of a DC generator is alternating in nature. It is converts AC into DC in the external load circuit by the split-rings or commutator.

  • According to upper figure in first half rotation current flows through ABRCD. Here B1 brush is connected with segment S1 as the positive end of supply and B2 brush is connected with segment S2 as the negative end of supply.

  • In the next half rotation shown in upper figure the induced current direction being reverse. So segments S1 and S2 also being reverse but brushes are being constant in it place with supply.
  • So here direction of current in external load R is same or unidirectional.
  • Waveform of current

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction To Arduino Arduino is an Italian company that designs and manufactures Open Source Hardware (Microcontroller) and Open Source software or IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Arduino hardware is such a programmable computerized platform, by working on which the user can combine the hardware and software and prepare the electronic brain according to his own and can control the electronic devices from that electronic brain. What is arduino? If you want to understand more easily, then we can say that Arduino microcontroller is an empty brain, in which you can upload memory by coding or programming through arduino software, so these are called open source. Arduino works like a CPU of a board computer. Right now the microcontroller of the arduino of this time that we can take up is lik

What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor Basic Detail Of Microprocessor The  microprocessor is a semiconductor device consisting of electronic logic circuits manufactured by using either a large scale(LSI) or very large scale integration(VLSI) technique. The microprocessor is capable of performing computing functions and making decisions to change the sequence of program execution. In large computers, the central processing unit(CPU) performs these computing functions and it is implemented on one or more circuit boards. The microprocessor is in many ways similar to the CPU, however, the microprocessor includes all the logic circuitry(including the control unit)on one chip. The microprocessor consists of the following three segments which is shown in below diagram. Block Diagram of Microproce

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement Definition of Instrumentation The technology of using instruments to measure and control the physical and chemical properties of materials is called “ instrumentation ". What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement When the instruments are used for the measurement and control of industrial manufacturing , conversion or treatment processes, the term process instrumentation is applied. When the measuring and controlling instruments are combined so that measurements provide impulses for remote automatic action, the result is called a control system. Modes of Measurement There are the three modes of measurement: 1. Primary Measurement 2. Secondary Measurement 3. Tertiary Measurement All the three modes are described below: (1) Primary Measurements In the primary measurement sought value of a parameter is determined by comparing it directly with reference standar
