  • Hello everybody, till now we had been studying about one very specific two port device and

  • that was the transformer; transformer as you understand we discussed it quite early was

  • one of the two port devices that we were supposed to discuss and it takes the electrical energy

  • from one side called the primary and delivers the electrical energy on another port called

  • the secondary and that is also the electrical energy and we modelled the transformers, studied

  • its equivalent circuit and got to know how it operates the principles of the transformers

  • and the various non-idealities which go up to make a practical transformer.

  • Today we shall begin our discussion of another two port device which is the DC machine. The

  • DC machine is also a two port device like a transformer. However, it has one fundamental

  • difference and that is the voltage or the effort on one side is related to the flow

  • or the through variable of the other port. Likewise, the flow on the electrical side

  • is related to the across variable or the potential variable or the effort variable on the port

  • two side.

  • And another point to be noted is that in a DC machine one port is electrical in nature

  • meaning the quantities that are going to be applied to one port are electrical quantities

  • and the quantities that are applied in the other port are the mechanical quantities because

  • it is in the mechanical domain mechanical rotational domain so torque and omega will

  • be the effort and flow variables that is the potential and the through variables, potential

  • of the kinetic variables and in the case of the electrical domain it will be voltage and

  • the current as usual.

  • Hence, we are going to discuss another two-port device called the DC machine. There is going

  • to be energy which gets energy which flows into the machine through one port and we will call that was port 1

  • and energy flows out through another port and that is called port 2.

  • One port is electrical in nature meaning port 1 let us say is electrical domain, port 2

  • is in the mechanical domain mechanical rotational domain. This means the potential variable

  • and the kinetic variable on the electrical side is the voltage e and the current i in amps,

  • volts and amps, the product is going to be the watts and the potential variable on this

  • side is torque in Newton meter and omega in radians per second. So this is volts, this

  • is amps, this is torque in Newton meter and this is radian per second.

  • So e on one side, torque on the other side are the effort variables or potential variables,

  • i on the electrical side, omega on the mechanical side are the flow or the kinetic variables;

  • the product of effort to flow on each side is always going to be watts that is the power

  • flow. Now, if the energy is flowing in this direction as shown which means from the electrical

  • to the mechanical side then the same device is called a motor. If the energy is flowing

  • from port 1 to port 2 that is the electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy

  • and used for driving something then the DC machine is called the motor. The same instrument

  • or the equipment can be used in a way wherein the energy flows from the mechanical to the

  • electrical meaning something rotates the mechanical shaft of the machine and that is going to

  • induce the electrical electrical side parameters and therefore the energy from the mechanical

  • side can flow that is energy from the mechanical side can flow to the electrical side and such

  • under such conditions the device is called a generator.

  • as the as the effort On the effort on the flows on the electrical side are DC values

  • the motor and the generator both in the case of motor and the generator the machine is

  • called a DC machine.

  • This is the machine that we are going to focus now and try to understand its principle of

  • operation, the basics, the concepts what makes it happen, what makes it rotate, what makes

  • it generate. First we consider the DC machine as a generator so we discuss the DC generator

  • and the same machine will be later discussed as a motor that is a transverse energy from

  • the electrical to the mechanical domain; most the principles that we study about the DC

  • machine as a generator will also be applicable to the same machine which will be in the motoring

  • mode. So these two functions of the DC machine we will try to focus in this class and the

  • coming classes. but before that we need to know one or two small principles like we had

  • the Faraday's law of electromagneticmagnetism in the case of the transformers which form

  • the bases, here also of course we will be using Faraday's laws of electromagnetism because

  • the energy is passing now through three domains. You see that the energy.......... let us say

  • if it is in the case of the generator, ultimately you will need to have the energy in the electrical

  • domain, the energy emanates from the mechanical domain as far as this equipment is concerned

  • and it passes through the electrical domain through an intermediary medium and that is

  • the magnetic domain. So energy passes from the mechanical domain into the magnetic domain

  • and from the magnetic domain to the electrical domain. Therefore, three domains are involved.

  • And in the case of motor the energy emanates from the electrical domain and goes into the

  • magnetic domain and then from the magnetic domain it goes into the mechanical domain

  • and causes the mechanical movement that would be the green arrows indicate the motoring

  • direction for the energy flow.

  • You see that electrical domain to the magnetic domain, magnetic domain to electrical domain

  • the principles here are very similar to that of a transformer. All the transformer principles

  • the Faraday's laws or the electromagnetics all those things are valid. There are few

  • rules that we need to know form mechanical to magnetic domain and that is one is of course

  • the Faraday's law and another is the lorentz force lorentz force. These two laws are applicable

  • in this transformation of this domain.

  • Now let us take let us take a piece of magnet and let us call it as north pole and somewhere

  • there on the left side you will see the south pole for that piece of magnet. Let us take

  • another piece of magnet and let me give it some space let us take another piece of magnet

  • and place it at some distance in line with the north pole but the south pole facing the

  • north pole and this has a north pole also of course because no magnetic element can

  • be with an isolated pole so it has its own north and south poles. But we are interested

  • in this that is until here

  • Now here if you see the magnetic lines of force this is at quite some distance it is

  • not quite near it because this is much much further than the distances that we are indicating

  • here so that this north pole does not have much interaction with the field lines which

  • are occurring here.

  • Now if we take the field lines there is a flux from the north to the south, it starts

  • going from north to the south, it is quite strong north to south. But in this direction

  • in this direction the field in an orthogonal direction is zero. is zero Now in an arbitrary

  • direction at an angle the field is going to exist but it is going to keep decreasing;

  • let us say we take the we we draw a circle let me draw a circle as shown like that so we have a circle here and if one travels

  • along the periphery of the circle at this point the field is strong on positive at a

  • point here the field this is at a point it is orthogonal to this north south axis and

  • the field there is zero in that direction, at any other direction let us say at when

  • when we are at a point here then the field field will field will be a bit reduced compared

  • would be a bit reduced compared to the position on this because it is not directly in line

  • and then if we take a point somewhere here the field will still further be reduced and

  • still further if we take a point somewhere here the field is positive still but still

  • further reduced and so on till it becomes zero at this point.

  • And then further if I take a consider a point on this circle circumference here in that

  • direction the field starts becoming negative because if we consider a point here with a

  • respect to that point the field is going to the point not away from the point and therefore

  • corresponding to this point the field direction is negative and it is shown by this negative

  • arrow. And as it as this point started in the circumference as this point starts travelling

  • like this this would be going in this fashion with increasing field gradually till it becomes

  • maximum and negative at this point.

  • So you see that there is a the field goes in this fashion in a sinusoidal fashion here.

  • Now with a maximum when it is at the north pole negative maximum when the position is

  • at when a point is at the south pole, zero at both the orthogonal points. So when the

  • point starts moving at this point we see again the mirror image of this and then when this

  • starts moving again towards the orthogonal axis you see the field decreasing field starts

  • decreasing until it is zero at the orthogonal axis and as the point further continues it

  • becomes positive that is this is the positive direction, this is zero, this is the positive

  • direction so field again changes direction and you see that radially there is different

  • amplitudes till it reaches the positive maximum when the point has again reached this point.

  • So you see that if we if there is a point which is situated on the circumference of

  • the circle starting from the north pole the point located near the north pole if the field

  • is moving away from the point it is we are putting putting it on the right side of this

  • axis and the field is on the uh on the south pole the field is entering the point and then

  • that is considered as negative. So a point which moves around the circumference like

  • that starts with the field which is positive and then keeps decreasing as the point is

  • moving along the axis there decreasing in this sense till it becomes zero and then it

  • goes negative in this portion of the segment keeps going so on till the field is negative

  • maximum till it is negative maximum as shown here nearest to the south pole point and as

  • the point traverses along the circumference towards again the orthogonal axis this traverses

  • the amplitude starts reducing further again till it becomes zero when it is at the when

  • the point is at the orthogonal point and then this goes again in this direction changes

  • direction and becomes positive max when the field again goes to this point. This is how

  • the field would look like when a point traverses on the circumference as shown here when we

  • place a north and south pole. So this would be the zero of the field phasor the field

  • vectors. So this would be the picture of the field vector field vector spatial picture.

  • Now let us have a north pole and a south pole and let me have a conductor with some as such there is no such current

  • in the conductor let us let us say that there is a field which is existing from north to

  • south in this direction. Now this is a conductor. Now this conductor if it is stationary the

  • field that is linking the conductor is also constant, there is no d phi by dt so as there

  • is no d phi by dt there is no induced voltage in the conductor and therefore there is no

  • current flow in the conductor.

  • If the field is changing, if the amplitude of the flux here, amplitude of the flux phi

  • here is changing then there is a d phi by dt and this results in an induced emf in the

  • conductor which will result in a current flow through the conductor in a specific direction.

  • Therefore, what is essential is a changing field for a current for a voltage to be induced

  • in the conductor and thereby a current to flow in the conductor.

  • There are two ways in which to produce a changing field as far as the conductor is consider

  • considered concerned. Let us say the conductor is fixed at a point. Now the flux phi here

  • can change with respect to time; flux is the function of time, then amplitude here changes

  • and therefore d phi by dt is finite not zero which will induce a voltage across the conductor

  • and thereby a current to flow. The other way is to have flux fixed, flux is fixed, the

  • flux amplitude is fixed; you have a permanent manner north and south pole and therefore

  • the distant the distance between them is also fixed and therefore the flux phi is fixed.

  • Under such condition the only way that you can have a change in flux is of the conductor

  • moves. If the conductor moves let us say to this position then the flux at that position

  • which is at a radial angle is going to be lesser and if it is moves still further the

  • flux is going to be lesser, if it is at the orthogonal axis the flux there is going to

  • be zero and let us say it continues to move. So the flux amplitude that is going to cut

  • the conductor is going to keep changing as the conductor moves along the circle. so that

  • is Therefore, the moving to the conductor is going to give you the d phi by dt which

  • is going to induce a voltage and thereby a current to flow. This is the other method

  • in which induced emf can also be produced in the conductor.

  • In the case of DC machines the flux here is kept constant by means of the fixed permanent

  • magnets let us say or something that produce constant flux and thereby the only way that

  • you can produce an induced emf in this conductor is by moving the conductor along the periphery

  • which means that this conductor is going to see varying amplitudes of the flux at different

  • amplitudes different points on the circumference of the circle and therefore a d phi by dt

  • and therefore an induced emf and therefore a current to flow through the conductor. This

  • comes by from the Faraday's laws of electromagnetism where you know that the induced emf which

  • is equal to Nd phi by dt.

  • An alternative expression in terms of the conductor length can also be derived which

  • is.......... let us just modify the................ and then we have this, these are the magnets

  • and then of course there is the conductor, so this conductor is positioned like this

  • and then you have all the flux lines linking the north and the south poles.

  • Now if this conductor is having a length L and then there is a cross section area A c

  • and therefore flux by A c is going to be the magnetic flux density B and then if the conductor

  • is moving at some speed let us say V is the velocity in meters per second at which the

  • conductor is moving cutting across the flux then the voltage induced is also given by

  • B the flux density which is a constant of course in this case because phi is a constant,

  • A c is a constant, L L is a constant again because this length of the conductor and B

  • which is the velocity at which this conductor is moving in meters per second and this is

  • what is cutting the flux and therefore as it is moving it is at various radial distances

  • angular distances from the centre and thereby the flux amplitudes are going to be varying

  • at different positions and that is going to cause the d phi by dt effect the d phi by

  • dt effect here in meters per second and it is going to result in a induced emf in the

  • conductor.

  • So, the induced emf of the conductor this gives induced emf in the coil which has N

  • turns, this gives the induced emf in the conductor in the conductor which has length L moving

  • at speed V meters per second. So both are actually one and the same law Faraday's law

  • of electromagnetism whereas one is with respect with reference to the coil the other is with

  • reference to the conductor.

  • So now we start again with a north pole here and have a south pole here and let me also

  • have a circular marking which gives the periphery in which the conductor is going to rotate

  • is going to move about. So let us now have a conductor which is positioned like this.

  • So once we have the conductor this single conductor position like that now let us see

  • the current through the conductor as it is moving along this moving along this field

  • here. So as it moves let us also take the position consider an imaginary no let me draw

  • about a different colour consider an imaginary XY axis, this is spatial this is spatial axis

  • spatial coordinate system, so when the conductor is in this position the flux is full max and

  • the conductor starts rotating from here to this point moves from here to this point,

  • the flux at these points are gradually decreasing until it becomes zero here. So you have the

  • flux which reduces becomes zero at this point. Then form here to here the conductor is at

  • the south pole, the flux is at negative max and then when it further goes the flux keeps

  • moving in this fashion, zero again at this point and then when it again moves here the

  • flux value is back again to its positive max; this is the zero as far as the flux phi m

  • is concerned.

  • So this is the alpha axis and the beta axis in the special coordinate system. Now, when

  • the fluxes at this point we are talking of this maximum therefore you have the induced

  • emf e which is equal to Bℓv the B is maximum at this point the induced emf is maximum and

  • therefore the current which is going to flow through the external load is also going to

  • be maximum. So, if we now project this on that temporal axis let me now draw the amplitude

  • of e the induced emf with respect to time. So as it is at this point let us call this

  • as a so this point is a that we are going to begin, this is at zero sorry this is at

  • peak let me........ so it is at this point this is zero so this is at E max then it rotates

  • 90 degrees and it becomes zero here and then from this is point b, this is point a, this

  • is point b corresponding to the spatial is point c and d. So from b to c from b to c

  • this is going negative, so this starts going negative and reaches the maximum point c in

  • the other direction negative direction that is here. And then from c to d it again becomes

  • zero in the orthogonal axis, axis orthogonal to the alpha axis which is along the north

  • south pole direction and then from there this is point d and then again d to a, this again

  • is point a and it comes back to......

  • So this keeps going on and on, this is for one complete cycle of rotation. You see that

  • you get an almost sinusoidal voltage that gets induced on the conductor as the conductor

  • is moved from a to b b to c c to d and so on. Now this gives the basis for generating

  • some voltage from the mechanical rotation of a conductor to an electrical induced voltage.

  • So let us now form a device like this.

  • Let us have the north pole like that. So this is our north pole this is our north pole and

  • let us have our south pole. So this is our south pole. So you have flux lines from north

  • to the south.

  • Now let us draw a coil right through here. So, we have a conductor of length L, there

  • is a conductor which is this, there is also another conductor which flows through like

  • that so this completes the circuit. So let us have some mechanism whereby I will have

  • a ring I will have a ring here so let me have the ring in a different colour so let us have

  • a ring like this and let us solder this wire on to that, it is soldered. Likewise, let

  • me also have a ring for the other wire also and let me solder this to this. We have this wire which is made

  • in the shape of this coil here, the two ends are soldered to rings two rings and let us

  • call this one as ring A and ring B and to these rings let us............... just we

  • have two carbon brushes like this which are just touching these rings. We have two carbon

  • rings and these carbon brushes are making only spring contact with that one and through

  • this we bring out the leads and then we can now connect a load resistance. This is the

  • load.

  • We have a very simple DC no we have a very simple generator not a DC general generator

  • which generates AC signal. Let us look at the operation of this one. Let us say that

  • this coil is moving rotating. So by some mechanism we are going to provide energy mechanical

  • energy such that this whole coil is made to rotate about an axis. So this whole coil is

  • rotating about this axis that is let us have this axis so the whole coil is rotating ago

  • along the axis the blue line is shown here.

  • Now this conductor here when it is at the north pole this is going to have a positive

  • field as we saw before positive max field and let us say the current is going to be

  • induced in this direction i, there is a current i which is going to be induced in this direction

  • and this conductor is closest to the south pole and this is going to have a negative

  • max field and there is going to be a negative current of other direction same amplitude

  • going to be induced in this. Now this is in a perpendicular direction this is along the

  • field this portion of the conductor does not cut the field does not see any differential

  • flux amplitudes throughout its rotation and therefore there is not going to be any induced

  • emf on this line, there is not going to be any induced emf on this line and this line.

  • So these two are going to have currents which are going to get induced one in this direction

  • and one on that direction and this is fortunate for us because we have drawn the coil such

  • that current can flow like that through this coil flows through this flows through this

  • coil and comes out through this. So, as these slip rings, that is these are called the slip

  • rings these rings which are soldered to the coil ends along with the coil are rotating

  • it is brushing or making contact with these brushes which are fixed of course. So it is

  • rubbing against these brushes which means it is in constant contact with the brush.

  • So a current with current this current which flows through here like this, comes into contact

  • through this brush, flows through this external load and then flows in in this direction and

  • then again flows into the other coil a through this ring and the soldered coil end which

  • completes the circuit and thereby you get a output here induced output here.

  • So as the whole coil is rotated we see that we see that the voltage across the load e

  • load which is the induced emf across the brushes starts with................ now in this position

  • it will be having a maximum north and.................. because the north and the south are going

  • to produce this leading currents and as it starts rotating and takes an orthogonal plane

  • this is going to pass through zero because when the coil is perpendicular in a plane

  • which is perpendicular to the plane which is right now shown it will be zero because

  • there is no flux in the perpendicular plane and then when its starts again rotating towards

  • further towards the south pole sorry this this portion rotating towards the south pole

  • it starts going in the other direction and then again when it becomes perpendicular to

  • the existing direction orthogonal direction there is no flux and then so on it keeps going

  • like this.

  • so when the when the flux When the flux is in this position the position which is which

  • is like this let me let me remove all these things let it be easier for you to.... now I will show

  • it in a different colour let us say the coil has now taken the position which is like that

  • and this is gone like that that is this is the vertical position probably it is confusing......

  • Let me redraw that one, it is better to look at it like this. Let me make some space here.

  • Let us draw the four possible modes in 2D so that you get a good idea.

  • This is north, this is south; north pole south pole, the north pole south pole, the north

  • pole and the south pole. Now we are going to show the conductors in 2D as just the cross

  • section when you cut the section of the coil and it is going to be in this position and

  • then rotates again and comes into this position and rotates and comes into this position.

  • So let me call this one as coil side a 1 a 2 a 1 a 2 a 2 a 1 a 1 a 2.

  • Therefore, if you look back to the previous figure this is a 1, this is a 2 and the current

  • going into the page we are going to put X mark like that and coming out of the page

  • is like this. So, as the coil has rotated as the coil has rotated 90 degrees you see

  • that there is no current flowing in this position because the induced emf is zero and the coil

  • further rotates in the other direction which makes this is in this direction. However,

  • the direction in a 1 and a 2 have interchanged; you see that the direction has changed in

  • a 2 and so in a one and therefore we are showing it as the negative direction here this portion

  • shown as the negative direction and when it comes again to this point it again becomes

  • zero, no current flow in any of the coil sides and then from here it shifts here. So this

  • is position 1 position 2 position 3 position 4 and then back again to position 1 2 3 4

  • so on it keeps flowing in this fashion.

  • These are the various positions the four important positions in the motor in this particular

  • equipment. So what we have here is a generator but it generates an AC waveform. How do we

  • generate a DC waveform from this; means how do we rectify it. So, if we pass it through

  • a rectifier we get from the AC waveform that the AC induced voltage a DC. But we are not

  • going to build the rectifier using diodes but it will be built in along with the motor

  • here.

  • So let us make a slight modification in the way the motor is built. Let us have again

  • the north pole and the south pole and let us have up coil here. Now this coil is shown like this in this fashion. See the

  • poles can of course be extended

  • and we have the north and the south pole like this. Now this coil is now connected to the rings in this

  • fashion. So let us have a ring in this fashion. Now this portion is........ this one end of

  • the coil is now soldered to this. Probably we will solder it from the inside so that

  • the brushes.......... so we solder one end of the coil to this and the other end of the

  • coil is soldered to in this fashion let us say.

  • There is a vertical split in the ring such that this portion of the ring does not make

  • contact with this portion of the ring and then we still have the brushes we still have

  • the brushes like that which is making contact we still have the brushes which is making

  • contact and it is from the brushes we are going to take it to the external load like this.

  • So now what happens we have the coil side a 1 coil side a 2. Now this right now this

  • is going to induce a current in this direction here and in this direction here flows through

  • the external circuit and the current flows through this coil. Now as the coil is rotating

  • and comes in an orthogonal plane it becomes zero the voltage becomes zero and starts going

  • negative. So when this has turned 90 degrees these two splits are going to be at around

  • the centre of the brush and then on further rotation this split that is let us say this

  • is a 1 and this is a 2 portion of the ring so a 2 ring a 2 portion of the ring is going

  • to be in contact with this left brush and a 1 portion is going to be in contact with

  • this. But at that point when it has crossed over the orthogonal plane there is a reversal

  • in the current for a 2 and a 1 and therefore a 2 becomes positive and a 1 becomes negative

  • therefore you would see in the time axis temporal axis time versus the induced emf versus the

  • induced emf e here so it starts with a peak like that and then the moment it comes to

  • zero here when it is on the orthogonal plane, flux is zero and now on further movement flux

  • would actually have gone negative but here the other ring is now making contact with

  • this brush, this the ring which was positive is now making contact with the other brush

  • and therefore there is a reversal in the contacts with the brush which is again going to make

  • the current through the load in the same direction and this is going to go like that and so on

  • in this fashion.

  • So there is a rectification which is which has come about due to the way in which this

  • ring has been made, this is called the commutator commu tator. The way the ring was formed in

  • this case in the AC motor this is called the slip ring the slip ring. So the commutator

  • can be used for obtaining a rectifier waveform at the output and thereby we get a unidirectional

  • induced voltage and therefore that would be a DC output. Therefore this machine with the

  • commutator even though the current through the coil is both direction that is AC because

  • of the external commutator the voltage across the external load is unidirectional the currents

  • through that one is also unidirectional and therefore this can be considered as a DC generator.

  • We stop here and continue in the next class consolidating the concepts of the DC generator

  • further. Thank you.
