Two Types of AC Generators Revolving armatureRevolving armature –rotor is an armature which is rotating inside a stationary electromagnetic field –seldom used since output power must be transmitted through slip-rings and brushes Revolving fieldRevolving field –dc current is supplied to the rotor which makes a rotating electromagnetic field inside the stator –more practical since the current required to supply a field is much smaller than the output current of the armature
