INTERPRETATION OF DATA:

The first part of the experiment we determine the pats of a rotor and the function of the parts. That

is in the first table. These are the following: To provide exceptional mechanical and electrical stability, is

placed between Commutator bars and between the bars and the shaft, Armature Moving iron part of

a solenoid or relay, A part which a current is induced by a magnetic field. The armature usually consists of

a series of coils or groups of insulated conductors surrounding a core of iron, Armature winding conducting

coils that are wound around the armature in which voltage is induced, causing it to rotate within a magnetic

field. If the wires are damaged or broken, the armature will not rotate properly, and the rotor slots the

enclosure upper part of the rotor slot saturates during the machine operations, involving an additional non-

linearity in the machines behaviour. The second table shows the different parts of a Stator and function of

that part. DC Machine Field Windings Generate a constant, static field, Creates electric field Terminal Block

for DC Machine Controls output/input.

OBSERVATION:

I observed in this experiment that the rotor part has different functions to do, and that function were

being stated in the interpretation. Also in stator part, the parts of the stator and the function of it were stated

in interpretation of data. I also observed that the Stators yoke has something to do with the operation of that

machine. DC motors have a rotating armature winding (winding in which a voltage is induced) but non-

rotating armature magnetic field and a static field winding (winding that produce the main magnetic flux) or

permanent magnet. Different connections of the field and armature winding provide different inherent

speed/torque regulation characteristics. The speed of a DC motor can be controlled by changing the

voltage applied to the armature or by changing the field current

CONCLUSION:

I therefore conclude that the C motor is a mechanically commutated electric motor powered

from direct current (DC). The stator is stationary in space by definition and therefore its current. The current

in the rotor is switched by the Commutator to also be stationary in space. This is how the relative angle

between the stator and rotor magnetic flux is maintained near 90 degrees, which generates the maximum

torque and the Commutator bar provide exceptional mechanical and electrical stability, is placed

between Commutator bars and between the bars and the shaft. Also the Armature, is the part which a

current is induced by a magnetic field. The armature usually consists of a series of coils or groups of

insulated conductors surrounding a core of iron. While the Armature windings, conducting coils that are

wound around the armature in which voltage is induced, causing it to rotate within a magnetic field. And the

last part of the rotor the enclosure upper part of the rotor slot saturates during the machine operations,

involving an additional non-linearity in the machines behaviour. I therefore also conclude that DC Machine

Field Windings Generate a constant, static field, Creates electric field Terminal Block for DC Machine

Controls output/input.
