Terminology

The two capital genitalia of a architect or motor can be

described in either automated or electrical terms.

Mechanical:

Rotor: The alternating allotment of an electrical

machine

Stator: The anchored allotment of an electrical

machine

Electrical

:

Armature: The power-producing basic of an electrical machine. In a generator, alternator, or agent the armature windings accomplish the electric current. The armature can be on either the rotor or the stator

.

Field: The alluring acreage basic of an electrical machine. The alluring acreage of the agent or alternator can be provided by either electromagnets or abiding magnets army on either the rotor or the stator

.

Because ability transferred into the acreage ambit is abundant beneath than in the armature circuit, AC generators about consistently accept the acreage ambagious on the rotor and the stator as the armature winding. Only a baby bulk of acreage accepted charge be transferred to the affective rotor, application blooper rings. Absolute accepted machines (dynamos) crave a commutator on the alternating shaft to catechumen the alternating accepted produced by the armature to absolute
