Field Current Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Field Current = Field Coil Voltage/Field Resistance
I_f = E_f/R_f
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Field Current - (Measured in Ampere) - Field current determines the strength of the magnetic field that induces the voltage in the armature winding.
Field Coil Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - The field coil voltage refers to the voltage applied to the field winding or field coil of a rotating machine, such as a generator or motor.
Field Resistance - (Measured in Ohm) - Field resistance refers to the electrical resistance of the field winding or field coil in a machine such as a generator or motor.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Field Coil Voltage: 42.5 Volt --> 42.5 Volt No Conversion Required

What is field current in DC generator?

The magnetic flux in a DC machine is produced by the field coils carry current. The circulating current in the field windings produces a magnetic flux, and the phenomenon is known as Excitation.

What is the relationship between the armature current and the field current?

Since you specified a DC machine, field current and armature current must be equal, as all current across elements of a SERIES circuit is constant and not divided as it is in a parallel circuit. That is to say that as current increases in the DC machine, both field and armature current increase equally.

How to Calculate Field Current?

Field Current calculator uses Field Current = Field Coil Voltage/Field Resistance to calculate the Field Current, The Field current is the current flowing through the windings in the non-moving part of the machine, which is responsible for the production of magnetic field.
