Applications of DC Generators:

1. DC shunt Generator

The terminal voltage of DC shunt generator is more or less constant from no load to full load .Therefore these generators are used where constant voltage is required.

  • For electro plating
  • Battery charging
  • For excitation of Alternators.

2. Series Generators:

The terminal voltage of series generator increases with load current from no load to full load .Therefore these generators are,

  • Used as Boosters
  • Used for supply to arc Lamps

3. Compound Generator:

  • Differential Compound generators are used to supply dc welding machines.
  • Level compound generators are used to supply power for offices ,hostels and Lodges etc.
  • Over compound generators are used to compensate the voltage drop in Feeders.

4. Separately Exited Generator:

  • As a supply source to DC Motors ,whose speed is to be controlled for certain applications.
  • Where a wide range of voltage is required for the testing purposes.
