DC MACHINES
Summary
The factors to be considered for the design of field coils are:
(i) mmf per pole and flux density
(ii) Loss dissipated from the surface of field coil
(iii) Resistance of the field coil
(iv) Current density in the field conductors
The length of commutator depends upon the space required by the brushes and upon the surface
required to dissipate the heat generated by the commutator losses.
Length of commutator Lc = nb (wb+cb) +c1+c2.
i) Peripheral speed
ii) Commutator segment pitch.
iii) Brush contact loss
iv) Brush friction loss
