GENERATOR

(SCIENCE 10 Q2)
What is DC and CD Generator?
-It is an electrical machine which converts mechanical
energy into direct current electricity. While on the other
hand, CD generator is generating electricity by CD
margnat and copper coil. This project is producing
electricity by EMF method when upper CD rotate by finger
then all LED glow without any battery or electricity source.
1.Stator - The main function of the stator is to provide
magnetic fields where the coil spins. A stator includes
two magnets with opposite polarity facing each other.
These magnets are located to fit in the region of the
rotor.
2. Rotor - A rotor in a DC machine includes slotted iron
laminations with slots that are stacked to shape a
cylindrical armature core. The function of the
lamination is to decrease the loss caused due to “Eddy
Current”.
3. Commutator - A commutator works like a rectifier
that changes AC voltage to DC voltage within the
armature winding. It is designed with a copper
segment, and each copper segment is protected from
each other with the help of mica sheets. It is located on
the shaft of the machine.
4. Brushes – The Brushes are in constant contact with the commutator and are
attached to the wires leading from the generator. The commutator spins while the
brushes remain stationary, transferring current from the commutator.
5. Shaft – The shaft transfers mechanical energy to the generator and turns the coil
through the magnetic field. The shaft may be turned by a turbine that operates
with water, steam or air, or by other means.
Difference between the AC Generator and the DC Generator
• AC generator produces AC electrical power whereas DC generator produces DC
electrical power
• In DC generator the current flows in one direction whereas in the AC generators
current reverses periodically.
• In DC generator split rings are used they wear out quickly in AC generator slip
rings are used, so they have high efficiency.
• AC generators are used for small domestic applications whereas DC generators
used to power large motors.
What are the top Uses of Generator?
 Back -Up power for your house
 Stand-by power for businesses
 Temporary power in a construction site
 Permanent power to a farm
 Helping main source of electricity to supply the total power required
 Pop concerts, events, and exhibitions
 Caravans/Camping in remote locations Outdoor catering facilities
