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.


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.


Which the effect of the increase of the armature voltage on the speed of a direct-current separately excited motor in case of constant load?

Increasing the armature voltage would increase the speed. In a separately excited dc motor the speed adjusts so that the back emf generated by the armature is a little less than the supply voltage. The difference, divided by the resistance, gives the current drawn, which is also proportional to the shaft torque supplied to the load.


When a shunt generator fails to build up the voltage then how to rectify the fault?

It fails to build up because self excited DC motor's armature have only one direction of rotation. So that if the poles of the armature are reversed, then this causes the reduction in the residual magnetism and eventually, it will stop.


Can a shunt generator build up its voltage without residual magnetism?

no...because before producing voltage needed to connect the generator to the grid then after it will produced voltage.AnswerYes, but only if you have an external d.c. supply to supply the field windings. Such machines are called, 'separately-excited'.

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.

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 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.


What are the responses of fall of terminal voltage of a separately excited dc generator?

reactance,armature ohmic resistance(Ri) and armature reaction V=E-IaRa-Ia if Ia is small the voltage will be small too It=Ie-IL


What is a shunt generator?

A shunt generator is a method of generating electricity in which field winding and armature winding are connected in parallel, and in which the armature supplies both the load current and the field current.A direct current (DC) generator, not using a permanent magnet, requires a DC field current. The field may be separately excited by a source of DC, or may be connected to the armature of the generator so that the generator also provides the energy required for the field current.


Different types of DC generator?

There are two types me dc generator 1 separately excited dc generator 2 self excited dc generator


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.


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 (+).


What happens if load torque is same at all speed in separately excited dc motor?

It means that the armature must be supplied with a constant-current source.

How is the induced voltage of separately excited dc generator affected if the speed increases?

as speed increases, induced voltage increases
