The voltage is adjusted with a potentiometer that adjusts the field voltage through the voltage regulator.
Exciter controls the magnetic field in the generator system and controls the output voltage and/or current.
A natural gas generator connected to the grid has its voltage and speed (frequency) stabilised by being connected to the grid. All generators on a grid run synchronously, and it happens because if one generator has a tendency to lag behind it will produce less power and thereby maintain its speed.
demagnetising effect of dc generator is to reduce main field flux there by reduction in generated voltage.
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.
the voltage which is given for creating magnetic field in a generator is known as excitation voltage.
A compound generator is a type of generator that has both series and shunt field windings. The series winding adds to the main field flux, providing good starting torque and limiting voltage droop under load. The shunt winding ensures stable voltage regulation at normal load conditions by adjusting the generator terminal voltage. This combination of windings allows the generator to provide stable output voltage across a wide range of loads.
high voltage field windings are connected in parallel
It doesn't! It produces voltage. It does this by the relative movement between an armature (winding into which a voltage is induced) and a magnetic field (set up by field windings). Either the armature rotates inside a fixed field (small generators) or the field rotates within a fixed armature (larger generators).Current is only supplied when a load is connected to the generator.
Increasing the field current will boost the generator output voltage, assuming the governor doesn't limit.
The voltage is adjusted with a potentiometer that adjusts the field voltage through the voltage regulator.
A generator's terminal voltage can be raised by increasing the field current. This will result in an increased load on the generator, which will slow it down unless the governor kicks in to keep the generator at speed.
It is usually generated in a generator; read the Wikipedia article on "Generator" for more details. Briefly, this uses the physical principle that if a material is moved through a magnetic field, a voltage is generated. If such a material is a conductor, and appropriately connected, this voltage will cause an electrical current to flow.
field strength
Exciter controls the magnetic field in the generator system and controls the output voltage and/or current.
The excitation voltage is too low. Turn the field voltage "pot" to raise the field voltage while watching the output generator voltage.
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.
