Electrical Shock Definition

Electrical Shock Definition :

Electrical Shock, a condition that occurs when there is a flow of electricity through the body.

Causes of an electric shock:

It is usually caused by contact with poorly insulated wires or ungrounded electrical equipment , by using electrical equipment while in contact with water, or by being struck by lightning.

The severity and effects of electrical shock depend on:-

1- The amount of current passing through the body
2- Type of current "AC or Dc"
3- Skin Case "Wet or Dry"
4- The duration of contact

Types of electrical shock:-
1- Small (1-8) mA

=> Not effect on the body

2- Medium (20-50) mA
=> Lead to difficulty in breathing

3- Large (50-100) mA
=> Lead to disturbances in the heart and may lead to death

Protection against electrical shock:-

1- Grounding equipment and electrical devices.
2- The use of cables with good insulation and suitable cross
section area.
3- Use of appropriate breakers to the values of the current.

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 ...

Alternator Synchronous Generator | Definition and Types of Alternator

Definition of Alternator The definition of alternator is hidden in the name of this machine itself. An alternator is such a machine which produces alternation electricity. It is a kind of generators which converts mechanical energy into alternating electrical energy. It is also known as synchronous generator. History of Alternator Michael Faraday and Hippolyte Pixii gave the very first concept of alternator . Michael Faraday designed a rotating rectangular turn of conductor inside a magnetic field to produce alternating current in the external static circuit. After that in the year of 1886 J.E.H. Gordon, designed and produced first prototype of useful model. After that Lord Kelvin and Sebastian Ferranti designed a model of 100 to 300 Hz synchronous generator. Nikola Tesla in 1891, designed a commercially useful 15 KHz generator. After this year, poly phase alternators were come into picture which can deliver currents of multiple phases. Use of Alternator ...
