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.
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 the difference between external and internal characteristics of dc shunt generator?
everything
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 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.
How will a shunt generator behave if the field resistance is greater than the critical resistance?
the shunt generator wont be started .hehe
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.
Is the critical resistance of shunt field less or more than the field resistance of generator?
More due to the impedance levels in the generator
What happens to the generated voltage of a self excited generator if shunt field resistance is greater than the critical resistance?
it doesn't develop emf ..........
Why dc shunt generator does not have armature resistance?
It does have armature resistance.
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 the difference between external and internal characteristics of dc shunt generator?
everything

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.
What are the condition of building up a self excited shunt generator?
self excited generator must be started without any external load attached ,an external load will continuously drain off the build up voltage and prevent the generator from reaching its proper operating voltage. also the presence of residual magnetism plays an important role And the field current resistance should be less than critic field circuit resistance
What are probable causes for not have build up voltage in a shunt generator?
1. Field Flashing. 2. Resistance of the filed winding should be less than critical field resistance. 3. Speed of the motor should be greater than critical speed. 4. Interchange the field connections. 5. Check the commutator surface and brush.
What are the possible reasons for failing the voltage of a dc shunt generator to build up during starting?
Possible reasons for failure of voltage buildup... 1) No residual Magnetism, 2) Field connection may be in reverse manner, 3) Field resistance is greater than critical resistance, 4) Speed is less than Critical speed.
