Principle of Operation
•Does not create electricity
•Faradays law
•Dynamically induced e m f.
•Flemings right rule.
e= N dΦ/dt.

Classification of DC Generators
•Permanent magnet type.
•Industrial generators use electromagnets.
•Figure 1
shows an overview of this classification method each type of
generator.
Separately Excited Generator
•Field winding is separately
