How to Evaluate Field Current?

Field Current evaluator uses Field Current = Field Coil Voltage/Field Resistance to evaluate the Field Current, The Field current is the current flowing through the windings in the non-moving part of the machine, which is responsible for the production of magnetic field. The field current formula is used to calculate the current required for the field coil of an electrical machine, such as a generator or motor. The field coil current is responsible for producing the magnetic field necessary for the operation of the machine. The specific formula for field current may vary depending on the machine's characteristics and design requirements. Field Current is denoted by If symbol.
