As a separate supply is required to excite field, the use is restricted to some special applications like electro-plating, electro-refining of materials etc.
But what is the difference between self excited and separately excited?

What is separately-excited generator?
in a separately excited generator the field coils are excited from a separate source like a dc battery may be or any other small generator. They are self starting generators.
Different types of DC generator?
There are two types me dc generator 1 separately excited dc generator 2 self excited dc generator
What is dc separately excited shunt generator?
Either or both can be separately excited. To generate voltage you need a big magnet( the field). Most generators use an electro-magnet. Now the electro-magnet needs a source of power (electricity). We could use the generators own output to excite the field (magnet), this is called self excitation. The problem with self excitation is that we have to wait for the generator to turn and start generating, also to start generating (Building up) there must be some left over magnetism from the last time it was run (called residual magnetism) or not even a little voltage will be generated to start the field current flowing. To solve these problems we could use separately excited. This means we must have a separate source of power to excite the field to produce the magnetism. Sometimes a battery or gasoline driven generator is used to excite the field of a very large generator to get it generating and then we can use some of the generated output to either recharge the battery or switch over to from the battery. In any case we have adjustable control of the generator all the time. This is why most generators are designed to be separately excited. And that is why you car has a voltage regulator. It wakes up the alternator when the engine is started by separately exciting it (the field) with the battery and then regulates the output voltage of the alternator as the engine changes speed with the driver's commands from the gas pedal.
Answering Which one is a separately excited generator - ac generator or dc generator?
Excitation is the phenomenon by which you control the excitation of field winding of a generator. In DC generator field winding is placed on stator and this field winding can be self excited or seperately excited depending upon the type on generator used. AC generators can also be self excited or seperately excited type but field winding is placed on rotor nad armature winding on stator.
What is the difference between a seperately excited DC generator and DC shunt generator?
The difference between a separately excited DC generator and a Shunt DC generator is that for a separately excited Dc generator , the excitation field winding is supplied by an external source different from that supplying the armature while for shunt generator, the excitation field windind is connected in series with the armature and supplied by a single source.
What happen when you reverse the direction of rotation in a separately excited dc generator?
When reverse the direction of a seperately excited DC generator,only polarities has been reversed,i.e., (+) becomes (-) and (-) become (+).
Can you use the separately excited shunt generator machine as self excited generator?
You have a seperately excited generator and then you have a shunt generator which has the field winding in parallel with the armature terminals. In DC machines a separately excited generator could be run as a shunt generator provided the field winding is designed to work on the generated voltage. A separately excited alternator needs a DC supply for the field winding. In car alternators that is taken from the main winding via a rectifier and a voltage regulator.
How the DC generator are classified according to field excitation?
on the basis of field excitation, dc generators are classified into the following types:-1- separetly excited dc generators2-self excited dc generatorsthe behaviour of a dc generator on load depends upon the method of field excitation adopted
What is lap winding?
The lap winding is used in dc generators designed for high-current application
How is the induced voltage of separately excited dc generator affected if the speed increases?
as speed increases, induced voltage increases
What is separately excited DC motor?
The main difference between the Separately excited motor and the shunt motor is the field cct where as in the second it has its own voltage supply.AnswerI think you mean 'generator', not 'motor'. A 'self-excited' motor is one in which the output supplies the field current, as well as the load current. A 'separately-excited' motor is one in which the field current is provided from an external source.
Is a DC motor single excited or double excited?
It is doubly excited if it is sparately excited dc motor, singly excited if it is self excited machine
