  1. Stators Ryan Markwood

  2. What will be covered • What is a stator • Key Terms and Ideas • Specific Parts of a Stator • How it works in a generator Questions may be asked during the presentation

  3. What is a Stator? • The Stator of a generator is the stationary portion of power generating half of the generator

  4. Key Terms and Ideas • Magnetic Induction: • Magnetic induction is the phenomenon that occurs when a conducting material such as copper or other wires pass through a magnetic field that that particular wire will gain a positive or negative charge based on direction • Example of Magnetic Induction

  5. AC vs DC • AC or Alternating Current is current whos charge alternates from positive to negative in a sin pattern. This is what is used in homes and for most commercial applications • DC or Direct Current is when a current is only in a single polarity.

  6. RE: What is a Stator? • The Stator is the portion of the generator that contains conducing wires on it that surround a rotating rotor that has many permanent magnets or electromagnets that are used to create a current. • Simplified: Wires stand still • Magnets move to create a current • Visual Example of a Generator System

  7. RE: What is a Stator? (2) • The Stator is the portion of the generator that contains many permanent magnets or electromagnets that contain an AC current to create a rotating current that surrounds a rotor that contains conducting wires to create electricity • Simplified: Magnets stand still • Wires move to create a current • Visual Example of a Generator System

  8. Stator for a DC Generator • Very similar to a AC generator with one exception the addition of the Commuter • Commuter is used to artificially “reset” the current so there is only a positive or negative current
