Transducer

 A transducer is defined as a device that receives energy
from one system and transmits it to another, often in a
different form (electrical,mechanical or acoustical). d e e o (e ec ca , ec a ca o acous ca )
„ Basically, there are two types of transducers :
1) Electrical
2) Mechanical
„ The electrical output of a transducer depends on the basic principle involved in the design.
„ The output may be analog, digital, or frequency modulated


 Electrical Transducer
„ An electrical transducer is a device that converts a physical, mechanical or optical quantity into a proportional voltage or current quantity.„
 An electrical transducer must have the following parameters :
1) Linearity
• Linear relationship between a physical parameter and the
resulting electrical signal.
2) Sensitivity
• Defined as the electrical output per unit change in the physical parameter (eg V/0C)
• High sensitivity is desirable

3 ) Dynamic Range
• Transducer must have a wide operating range.
4) Repeatability
• The input/output relationship for a transducer should be predictable over a long period of time.
5) Physical Size
• The transducer must have minimal weight and volume to minimize the disturbance to the existing conditions/environment.

Armature Winding ,Pole Pitch, Coil Span, Commutator Pitch

Now we are going to discuss about armature winding in details. Before going through this section, we should understand some basic terms related to armature winding of dc generator . Pole Pitch Definition of Pole Pitch The pole pitch is defined as peripheral distance between center of two adjacent poles in dc machine. This distance is measured in term of armature slots or armature conductor come between two adjacent pole centers. This is naturally equal to the total number of armature slots divided by number of poles in the machine. If there are 96 slots on the armature periphery and 4 numbers of poles in the machine, the numbers of armature slots come between two adjacent poles centers would be 96/4 = 24. Hence, the pole pitch of that dc machine would be 24. As it is seen that, pole pitch is equal to total numbers of armature slots divided by total numbers of poles, this can alternatively referred as armature slots per pole . Coil Span or Coil Pitch Coil of ...

Transformer

 A transformer is a static electrical device that transfers energy by inductive coupling between its winding circuits. The transformer is one of the simplest of electrical devices. Its basic design, materials, and principles have changed little over the last one hundred years, yet transformer designs and materials continue to be improved. Transformers are essential in high voltage power transmission providing an economical means of transmitting power over large distances. The simplicity, reliability, and economy of conversion of voltages by transformers was the principal factor in the selection of alternating current power transmission in the "War of Currents" in the late 1880's. In electronic circuitry, new methods of circuit design have replaced some of the applications of transformers, but electronic technology has also developed new transformer designs and applications. Transformers come in a range of sizes from a thumbnail-sized coupling transfo...
