DC machines work either as a dc generator or as a dc motor. In a dc generator, a set of conductors or coils placed on a rotating body, called armature, are rotated continuously inside a magnetic field with the help of a prime mover (prime mover is another machine, may be a diesel engine or a turbine, which rotates the armature). The magnetic field is created by passing dc current through the windings ...
