DC Machines:

DC Machine

a DC generator or a DC motor can be broadly termed as a DC machine

Construction Of A DC Machine


The above figure shows the constructional details of a simple 4-pole DC machine. A DC machine consists two basic parts; stator and rotor. Basic constructional parts of a DC machine are described below.

  1. Yoke: The outer frame of a dc machine is called as yoke. It is made up of cast iron or steel. It not only provides mechanical strength to the whole assembly but also carries the magnetic flux produced by the field winding.
  2. Poles and pole shoes: Poles are joined to the yoke with the help of bolts or welding. They carry field winding and pole shoes are fastened to them. Pole shoes serve two purposes; (i) they support field coils and (ii) spread out the flux in air gap uniformly.
  3. Field winding: They are usually made of copper. Field coils are former wound and placed on each pole and are connected in series. They are wound in such a way that, when energized, they form alternate North and South poles.
  4. Armature core: Armature core is the rotor of the machine. It is cylindrical in shape with slots to carry armature winding. The armature is built up of thin laminated circular steel disks for reducing eddy current losses. It may be provided with air ducts for the axial air flow for cooling purposes. Armature is keyed to the shaft.
  5. Armature winding: It is usually a former wound copper coil which rests in armature slots. The armature conductors are insulated from each other and also from the armature core. Armature winding can be wound by one of the two methods; lap winding or wave winding. 
  6. Commutator and brushes: Physical connection to the armature winding is made through a commutator-brush arrangement. The function of a commutator, in a dc generator, is to collect the current generated in armature conductors. Whereas, in case of a dc motor, commutator helps in providing current to the armature conductors. A commutator consists of a set of copper segments which are insulated from each other. The number of segments is equal to the number of armature coils. Each segment is connected to an armature coil and the commutator is keyed to the shaft. Brushes are usually made from carbon or graphite

Ohm’s Law

Statement of Ohm’s Law


Georg Simon Ohm 

The statement of Ohm’s law is simple, and it says that whenever a potential difference or voltage is applied across a resistor of a closed circuit, current starts flowing through it.This current is directly proportional to the voltage applied if temperature and all other factors remain constant. Thus we can mathematically express it as:


Now putting the constant of proportionality we get

This particular equation essentially presents the statement of this law where I is the current through the resistor, measured in Ampere (Ampere, or amps), when the electric potential difference V is applied across the resistor in unit of volt, and ohm(Ω) is the unit of measure for the resistance of the resistor R.

DRAWING ANGLES WITH SET SQUARES

                                                 DRAWING ANGLES WITH SET SQUARES

Set squares are used in conjunction with T-squares to draw accurate angles.
There are two main types of set square.
One has an angle of 45 degrees and the other 30/60 degree angles.
The 45 degree set square also has a 90 degree angle. 
This can be used for drawing vertical lines.
The 30/60 degree set square also has a 90 degree angle. 
This set square can be used to draw 30, 60 or 90 degrees angles.

ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWING

INTRODUCTION TO THIRD ANGLE ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWING

Orthographic drawing is a way of drawing a three dimensional object. Normally the object is drawn as three separate, related views - Front View, Side View and Plan View. 
The example below shows a simple shaped block, with a hole drilled all the way through. 

The front view, is a drawing of the block, as if you are looking directly at the front of the object.
The side view, is a drawing of the block, when it has been rotated so that one of its sides is now directly in view.
The plan view, is a ‘birds eye’ view, from above.

Dotted lines represent ‘hidden detail’. In this case they represent the hole, through the block/object
The front, side and plan views are arranged in the positions shown below. They must be drawn accurately. 

Draw the front view first, followed by the side view. The plan view is drawn directly above the front view. Note, a 45 degree line allows the projection of the side view to the plan view
Dimensions (measurements) are added to the completed views. Usually six dimensions are added. This enables anyone looking at the orthographic drawing, to work out the overall size of the object. More dimensions can be added if necessary. Dimensions are drawn on each of the views.



THE CENTRE LATHE

                                    THE CENTER LATHE

The Centre Lathe is used to manufacture cylindrical shapes from a range of materials including; steels and plastics. Many of the components that go together to make an engine work have been manufactured using lathes.. A basic manual centre lathe is shown below. This type of lathe is controlled by a person turning the various handles on the top slide and cross slide in order to make a product / part.
The headstock of a centre lathe can be opened, revealing an arrangement of gears. These gears are sometimes replaced to alter the speed of rotation of the chuck.The speed of rotation of the chuck is usually set by using the gear levers. These are usually on top of the headstock or along the front and allow for a wide range of speeds.
However, sometimes the only way to set the lathe to a particular speed is to change the gear arrangement inside the headstock.
