1. In Shunt generators armature current is equal to sum of field current and load current whereas in series generators field current and load current is same.
2. Shunt generators field winding has high resistance and large no of turns as compared to series generators.
3. Shunt generator field winding has thin conductor and series generator has thick.

∙ 13y agoSeries generators have very few uses - their output voltage is VERY unstable with load changes, as a change in load resistance changes the armature current, which is the field current, which changes the output voltage, which changes the armature current.... and so on.
Most textbooks will tell you that series generators are only used on constant loads - eg, arc lights - or for 'voltage stabilisation' on DC transmission lines.
Series generators are difficult to adjust the voltage on - a low resistance, high power 'diverter resistor' is used to divert some of the armature current away from the field colis and weaken the flux, lowering the output voltage (and the armature and field current, changing the voltage again....)

In shunt wound generators, the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature while in the series wound generators, the field winding is connected in series with the armature.

What is the difference between shunt and series regulator?
Basic voltage regulators are classified as either SERIES or SHUNT, depending on the location or position of the regulating element(s) in relation to the circuit load resistance.
What is the name of a direct-current generator?
shunt Generators
What are the Applications of differential compound?
Differential compounded generators are used in Ward Lenard motor generator loops. The shunt fields on these generators are separately excited and when the shunt field polarity is reversed by the controller the series field helps drive the generator voltage to zero thus aiding in the reversal of current.

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 difference between a shunt and a stent?
A shunt is a passage between blood vessels which diverts blood. A stent is used to prop open an artery.
How shunt generators used in electroplating?
A shunt generator is used to provide electrons (electrical energy) to the electroplating machine.
Which has a highest resistance between shunt resistor and series resistor?
If you are placing more than one resistors in series, then its combined resistance is higher than when you place these resistors in shunt.
How do you know polarity of shunt winding of dc generators?
by using multitester
Applications of a dc shunt generator?
DC series generators are generally used as Voltage Boosters
What are the basic types of facts controllers?
series controller, shunt controller,series-shunt controller,series-series controller
