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.

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.


How the DC generator are classified according to field excitation?

What is the excitation of the generator?

The rotor must have a magnetic field in order to generator voltage in stator winding. The exciter circuit generates this DC filed in the rotor.

Answering Which one is a separately excited generator - ac generator or dc generator?

Excitation is the phenomenon by which you control the excitation of field winding of a generator. In DC generator field winding is placed on stator and this field winding can be self excited or seperately excited depending upon the type on generator used. AC generators can also be self excited or seperately excited type but field winding is placed on rotor nad armature winding on stator.


Why is dc current used in the excitation of generator?

The field current is used for the excitation of generators.AnswerYou use DC current, because you want the resulting magnetic field to be constant. If you used AC, the resulting magnetic field would vary in both strength and direction.


What is brushless excitation system?

3 phase synchronous generator or motor require DC current in the rotor. Conventional way of supplying DC requires use of commutators, which requires timely maintenance. To overcome this Brush less Excitation systems is used. Brushless Escitation system consists of one pilot excitor - DC generator with rotating PM as the field and the armature as the stator. The armature of the pilot excitor is connected to the stator of main excitor which is a 3-phase synchronous generator (please do not get confused, this is not our alternator but the exciter for the alternator). The rotor of the main exciter is connected to a diode bridge to get DC. This is connected to the rotor of our alternator.

Difference between static excitation system?

It is called static excitation when you make use of solid state components like diode and thyristors to convert to pure dc and to use this dc for field excitation of synchronous generators. The field winding of synchronous generators can be excited by dc source only. It is called brushless excitation because use of carbon brushes are not made here.It is called dynamic excitation is when you make use of rotating brushes. Excitation is necessary to produce reactive power and also to regulate the voltage of synchronous generators.
