I've studied the basic principle of the dc generator which is with the single loop example.
Right here it's the example for the motor but the generator works the other way around. I'm aware of how it works anyway.
My problem is I fail to see the loops in the following diagrams and the actual generators.From the pictures I've seen I only see coils going from a slot to the commutators.
The image on the right is the actual image and the one on the left is used for ease.
Let's take coil A for example. It goes from slot 1 to the commutator and from commutator to slot 3. So is coil A actually 2 coils? Where is the loop of coil A? I've been searching for quite some time but I can't find an explanation. Is the coil going behind the picture and coming of slot 3 to make a loop? Maybe I don't understand how the coils are placed.
Again, my problem is the transition from the basic example to the actual generator. You can clearly see here coils wrapped around and not loops. Is each one connected to the wrapped coil across?
