1. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The modular system DL 10280 for the study of the rotating electrical machines includes the
following components:
Moreover, for the operator safety a transparent cover is included, that prevents from the accidental
contact with the rotating parts.
Vers.e 2018/06/13 1
DL 10280
The alternating current machines are divided into asynchronous machines (usually motors) and
synchronous machines (generators and motors).
1.1.1 Stator
For the asynchronous motors and for the fixed armature alternator the stator is composed of a metal
frame supporting the laminated magnetic circuit, affected by a time variable flux, and the electrical
winding.
The sheet pack is 60 mm long, with internal diameter of 80 mm and external diameter of 150 mm and
it has 24 half-closed slots inside of which there is a double three-phase winding: the beginnings and
the ends of the different phases are shown outside the stator on a suitable educational terminal
board.
The winding is of the double layer, long coil lap type, with winding span 6 (1÷7).
Every slot contains two coils of 19 turns each of enamelled wire of diameter 1.12 mm.
2 Vers.e 2018/06/13
DL 10280
The rotor is composed of a shaft to which a pack of magnetic sheets is fixed, where the slots
suitable to contain the rotor winding are set.
The cage is carried out by setting in every rotor slot some conducting bars that are closed in short-
circuit at both ends by means of conducting rings.
Therefore, the rotor winding can be considered a multiphase winding, with a single conductor for
pole-phase, so it does not have its own pole number, but it takes a pole number that is equal to that
of the stator winding.
Vers.e 2018/06/13 3
DL 10280
The rotor is composed of a shaft to which the collector rings and a magnetic sheet pack are fixed:
the pack has 21 semi-closed slots suitable to contain the winding.
The sheet pack is 60 mm long, with external diameter of about 78 mm. To avoid a noisy mechanical
running, the rotor slots are inclined with respect to the stator slots.
The rotor winding is composed of coils and it is a two pole, three-phase winding.
The winding is of the double layer, long coil lap type, with winding span 9 (1÷10).
Each slot contains two coils of 8 turns each of enamelled wire of diameter 1.5 mm.
The winding is star connected and ends at the collector rings while the star centre is internal.
The terminals of the rotor winding are accessible by means of the collector rings to which the
brushes, supported by a brush holder, are connected.

DL 10280
The brushes are two for each phase and they end at an external terminal board that shows the
synoptic diagram of the rotor winding.
Notes
2) Synchronous generator
The magnetic field in the alternator is generated through the rotor poles by connecting the rotor
winding to a direct source in such a way that the current enters through one phase and leaves
through the other two in parallel.
Vers.e 2018/06/13 5
DL 10280
The machines operating in direct current are divided into dynamo (generators) and direct current
motors.
1.2.1 Stator
The stator is composed of a metal frame supporting the laminated magnetic circuit, with 2 main
poles and 2 interpoles, and the electrical windings.
The sheet pack is 60 mm long, with internal diameter of 80 mm. The coils, whose terminals are
shown on a suitable educational terminal board, are wound on the poles.
6 Vers.e 2018/06/13
DL 10280
Terminals of the series excitation winding: 28 turns for each pole carried out with two enamelled
wires of diameter of 1.12 mm., parallel connected.
The rotor is composed of a shaft to which the commutator is fixed and of a magnetic sheet pack
where 20 semi-closed slots suitable to contain the electrical winding are set.
Vers.e 2018/06/13 7
DL 10280
The winding is of the double layer, long coil lap type, with winding span 9 (1÷10).
Each slot contains two coils with two sections of 5+5 turns carried out with enamelled wire of
diameter 1.12 mm.
The winding ends at the 40 segments of the commutator on which two brushes, supported by a
brush holder, are connected.
The brushes end at terminals set on two external boards that show the synoptic diagram of the rotor
winding.

2. BASIC CONCEPTS
In this section some fundamental concepts are reminded for the correct comprehension of the
operation of the rotating electrical machines.
The fundamental structure of a rotating electrical machine is composed of a fixed part (stator) and a
moving part (rotor), carried out with magnetic material to support the passage of the magnetic flux
, that can be generated by a permanent magnet or, better, by electromagnets.
The flux lines flow through a closed circuit that includes both iron (stator yoke, poles and rotor) and
air (air gap between stator and rotor).
Once known the value of the flux (Wb) that is necessary for the machine operation, it is possible
to calculate the electromotive force F (Aturns), that is necessary for its sustenance, as the sum of the
magnetomotive forces FM corresponding to the different sections of the magnetic circuit:
F = FM = H l
where H (A/m) is the intensity of the magnetic field in a given section and l (m) is its length.
Then, after having determined the magnetic induction B (T), defined as flux by surface unit and
relevant to each section:
B
S
B=µH
Vers.e 2018/06/13 9
DL 10280
For what concerns the air, the magnetic permeability is constant, µ = 1.2566370614…×10 −6 H·m −1,
while for the ferromagnetic materials we usually have to use the graphs that represent the
magnetization curve in order to determine the intensity of the magnetic field, because their
permeability is not constant.
Finally, since the total magnetomotive force F is applied to two poles, the ampere-turns for each
pole are simply obtained by the relationship:
F = 2 N Ie
where N is the number of turns per pole and Ie the excitation current.
Note
In the air gap and in the rotor teeth the useful flux is equal to , while in the poles we have to
consider a higher flux p = 1.2 , to take into account the side leakage.
Finally, in the rotor section and in the stator yokes only half of the useful flux will have to be
considered.

NUMERICAL EXAMPLE N° 1
Determine the value of the excitation current of a direct current machine in such a way to obtain a
flux = 1.4 mWb, knowing that coils of N = 500 turns are wound on the poles.
The geometrical data of the machine are shown in the calculation table.
Calculation table
The intensity of the magnetic field for the air gap is calculated with the relationship:
H (A/cm) = 8000 B
while for the remaining sections of the magnetic circuit the magnetization characteristic FeSi (1.3
W/kg) has been used.

DL 10280
Procedure
Assemble the group asynchronous motor-brake, by using the stator of the alternating current
machine completed with squirrel cage rotor.
Carry out the circuit shown in the previous topographical diagram.
Set the supply module DL 10281 for a fixed alternating voltage 24V/14A: (selector "a0b" to
position "a" and switch L1/L2/L3 to position "0") and for a variable direct voltage 0÷40V/5A
(selector “c0d” to position "c" and control knob to 0%).
Use first and second devices of the measurement module DL 10282N to read the values of voltages,
currents and power to the stator terminals of the motor for alternating current. For the active power
press the “Function” button on the right of the appropriate measuring device.
Use the measurement module DL 10282N for speed measurements on third device.
Use the MY60 Digital multimeter for current measurement in excitation circuit of the brake
Activate the supply module and start the motor by setting the switch L1/L2/L3 to position "1": the
motor turns clockwise.
Once the motor has been started provide to balance the brake: the system is balanced by setting the
weight G = (2+1.5)N in correspondence of the zero of the graduated scale and by moving the
balance weight g = 1.5 N until the water level shows the horizontal position.
Start measuring the supply voltage U, the absorbed current I and the powers P13 and P23. Record the
speed n of the motor.
The motor is therefore loaded by steps by means of the brake: the load is carried out by moving the
weight G to a distance b from the zero position and therefore, by means of the variable direct
voltage 0 ÷ 40 V, its excitation current is adjusted until balancing the system again.
Carry out the measurements previously shown for every value of arm b shown in the following
table, where the measurement indications are therefore written.

Electrical diagram
Procedure
Assemble the group dc motor-brake, by using the stator of the direct current machine completed
with commutator rotor and brushes.
Carry out the circuit shown in the previous topographical diagram.
Set the supply module DL 10281 for a fixed direct voltage 42V/10A (selector "a0b" to position "b"
and switch L+/L- to position "0") and for a variable direct voltage 0÷40V/5A (selector “c0d” to
position "c" and control knob to 0%).
Use the measurement module DL 10282N and read the values of the voltmeter and the ammeter for
direct current measurements on first and second devices, and observe the polarities (+ at red
terminal).
Use the measurement module DL 10282N for speed measurements on third device.
Set on the module DL 10283 the starting rheostat RA = (1 + 2) for the maximum resistance
(control knob to position "b") and the excitation rheostat RF = 80 with the minimum resistance
(control knob to position "a").
Activate the supply module and supply the motor by setting the switch L+/L- to position "1": the
motor starts and it turns clockwise.
Stop the group by setting the switch L+/L- to position "0".
Invert the connection F1 with F6 and start the group again by setting the switch L+/L- to position
"1": the motor turns now counter clockwise.
Stop the group by setting the switch L+/L- to position “0” and restore the initial connection of the
excitation winding.
Start then the group again: the motor has to turn clockwise.
Switch off gradually and completely the starting rheostat RA (control knob to position "a": only the
resistance 1 remains connected): adjust the excitation rheostat RF in such a way the separate
excitation current is Ie = 0.9A, that has to remain constant during all the test.
With the rotating group provide to balance the brake: the system is balanced by setting the weight G
= (2+1.5)N in correspondence of the zero of the graduated scale and by moving the balance weight
g = 1.5 N until the water level shows the horizontal position.
After the group has reached the thermal stability, control the excitation current and measure the
excitation voltage Ue, the voltage U and the supply current I of the motor and the speed n.
The motor is therefore loaded by steps by means of the brake: the load is carried out by moving the
weight G at a distance b from the zero position and therefore, by means of the variable direct
voltage 0÷40V, its excitation current is adjusted until balancing the system again.
By checking that the excitation current is the pre-established one (eventual adjustments can be
carried out by means of the rheostat RF) perform the measurements previously shown for every
value of arm b shown in the following table, where also the measurement indications are therefore
written.

If we foresee a further starting of the motor set the starting rheostat RA to position "b" again
(maximum resistance) and the excitation one RF to position "a" (minimum resistance).
