n=emf/flux according to this formula field open means flux
will be zero.flux zero means speed will be infinity,but we
know that no machine can't reach infinite speed so that
therotically ok but practically starting speed will
increase then it will reduced zero.

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 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.


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 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.


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


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 will happen to a shunt motor if a shunt field coil opens while the motor is running under light load?

Motor will rotate at very high speed leading to destructionAnswer from Kinindia.com


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.


What are the application of differential compound generator?

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.


Can a shunt motor be started without residual magnetism?

Yes. The field is provided by the shunt windings, which are connected in parallel with the supply. You may be confusing a motor with a generator, as you cannot start a shunt generatorwithout residual magnetism.


How do we adjust the voltage of a shunt generator?

The voltage is adjusted with a potentiometer that adjusts the field voltage through the voltage regulator.
