Between DC Tachometer Generator And AC
Tachometer Generator
This page compares DC tachometer generator vs AC tachometer
generator and mentions difference between DC tachometer
generator and AC tachometer generator.
What is tachometer?: It is the instrument which measures
angular velocity of shaft. It performs measurement by registering
total number of revolutions during the period of contact or by
indicating directly number of revolutions per minute

DC Tachometer Generator
Fig:1 DC tachometer generator
DC tachometer consists of small armature which is coupled to
machine whose speed needs to be measured. The armature
revolves in field generated by permanent magnet.
Emf generated is proportional to the product of flux and speed. As
flux in the magnet is constant, generated voltage is proportional
to speed. The polarity of voltage output indicates direction of
rotation.

AC Tachometer Generator
Fig:2 AC tachometer generator
AC tachometer has rotating magnet which can be either
permanent magnet or electromagnet.
The coil is wounded on stator. The rotation of magnet causes emf
to be induced in the coil of stator. Amplitude and frequency of emf
is proportional to speed of rotation.
Following table summarizes difference between DC tachometer
and AC tachometer.
