the insulated current-carrying coils on a field magnet that produce the magnetic field intensity required to set up the electrical excitation in a generator or motor
field winding in American English
the winding of a field magnet
field winding in Electrical Engineering
(fild waɪndɪŋ)
Word forms: (regular plural) field windings
noun
(Electrical engineering: Electrical power, Motor or generator)
A field winding is the insulated current-carrying coils on a field magnet that produce the magneticfield needed to excite a generator or motor.
As each coil is energized in turn, the rotor aligns itself with the magnetic fieldproduced by the energized field winding.
It is essential that the field windings of the generator be excited with DC current.
