Parts of a DC Machine
Dr. J. Belwin Edward, Associate Professor, SELECT, Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India
• Outer frame of the DC generator
• It acts as a protecting shield
• Provides a complete path for the magnetic field
• Provides mechanical support for the poles
• Cast Iron – Small, Cast/Rolled Steel - Large

• Stator Assembly
• Yoke
•Field Pole-Core
• Field Windings / Coils
• Rotor Assembly
• Armature Core
• Armature Winding / Coil
• Commutator
• Brushes
• Ball Bearings • It consists of Pole Core & Pole Shoe
• Pole Shoe Spreads out the flux in the Air Gap
• Large Cross-section – Reduces Reluctance of the Magnetic Path
• It acts as a support for the field coils
