Information About

Stator




The stator is the stationary part of an Electric Motor or Alternator . Depending on the configuration of the motor the stator may act as the ''field magnet'', interacting with the Armature to create motion.

The stator may be either a Permagnet or an Electromagnet . Electromagnetic stators are used in Wound Field DC Motors . The non-stationary part on an electric motor is the Rotor . Where the stator is an electromagnet, the coil which energizes it is known as the ''field coil'' or ''field winding''.
