The study of the electrical engineering, basiccally involves the analysis of the energy transfer from to another. An electrical machine, deals with the energy transfer either from mechanical form or from electrical to mechanical form.
This process is called electromechanical energy conversion.
An electrical machine which converts mechanical energy into an electrical energy is called an electric generator. While an electrical machine which converts an electrical energy into the mechanical energy is called an electrical motor.
Such electrical machines may be related to an electrical energy of an alternating type called a.c. machines or may be related to an electrical energy of direct type called d.c. machines.
The d.c. machines are classified as d.c. generator and d.c. motors. The construction of a d.c. machines basically remains same whether it is a generators or a. motors. But before beginnig the study of the d.c. machines, it is necessary to revise the basic concept of magnetism and electromagnetism.
