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.

What are the basic types of facts controllers?
series controller, shunt controller,series-shunt controller,series-series controller
Can you give me a sentence with the word generator?
A generator is a device that creates energy, or transforms it from one form into another. Here are some sentences.I bought a generator in case the electricity goes out.The generator in the dam was strong enough to power the whole city.That machine is a generator.
How does cycle pedal Generator produced electricity?
the pedals drive the wheel, the wheel drive an electrical generator.2 possibilities for the wheel to drive the generator:-the wheel does not have a tire: a belt goes in the rim and drive a puley on the shaft of the generator.-the wheel has a tire: there is a drive roller on the shaft of the generator. the drive roller is pressed on the tire.The generator can be of any kind. They are commonly car alternator or permanent magnet dc motor, but you can also drive an alternative current squirel cage generator. Depending on the chosen generator, you have to use an electric circuit appropriate for the generator.
What is the definition of a generator?
A generator is a device which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What is the difference between a commercial power generator and a regular power generator?
The difference between a commercial power generator and a regular power generator is that a commercial one is much expensive than the regular one. It's much better to purchase the regular generator if your not planning to use it for business purposes.
What are the differences of Long shunt vs short shunt generator?
In long shunt the shunt field winding is in parallel to both generator and series field. In short shunt the shunt field is in parallel to generator only.
How will a shunt generator behave if the field resistance is greater than the critical resistance?
the shunt generator wont be started .hehe
Theory for load test on dc shunt generator?
load test on dc shunt generator is a test to plot the internal and external characteristics of the generator.
What is excitation in generator and 2 methods each?
when the current is passing through the winding then it is called "Excitation". Types of excitation (1)seperately excited generator. (2)self excited generator. self generator is classified into 3 types. 1.shunt generator. 2.series generator. 3.compound generator. compoud generator is again classified into 2 types. 1.short shunt generator. 2.long shunt generator.
What is critical resistance of the field circuit of a DC generator?
The value of resistance of shunt field winding beyond which the shunt generator fails to build up its voltage is known as " critical resistance at a given speed it is the maximum field resistance with which the shunt generator excite.
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 is the name of a direct-current generator?
shunt Generators
What are different methods of excitation of dc generator?
when the current is passing through the winding then it is called "Excitation". Types of excitation (1)seperately excited generator. (2)self excited generator. self generator is classified into 3 types. 1.shunt generator. 2.series generator. 3.compound generator. compoud generator is again classified into 2 types. 1.short shunt generator. 2.long shunt generator.
What has to be interchange in order to reverse the direction of rotation of shunt generator?
the direction of the rotation of dc shunt generator could be changed only by changing the direction of rotation of the prime mover
How shunt generators used in electroplating?
A shunt generator is used to provide electrons (electrical energy) to the electroplating machine.
Why dc shunt generator does not have armature resistance?
It does have armature resistance.
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.
