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.


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.


Why terminal voltage of a self excited shunt generator decreases with an increase of load?

When the generator is loaded, flux per pole is reduced due to armature reaction.


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.


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 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 would happen if a shunt-excited DC generator was operated at too low a speed?

A shunt generator is a type of DC generator that does not use a permanent magnet. Reducing the speed of the generator will reduce the output, but not the load the generator requires because the currents in the parallel branches are independent.


How compound generator operates?

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.


What Generator has shunt windings and series windings?

A 'compund wound' dc generator has shunt winding and a series winding. The shunt winding has a high resistance, and draws only a small current from the armature, but as it has many turns of wire on it, it generates a strong magnetic field. The series winding has only a few turns of wire on it, and, even though it has a large current in it, its magnetic field is usually less than that of the shunt field. Because of this, the compound generator behaves in most ways like a shunt generator, and is controlled in the same way. As it is self-excited, the compound wound generator requires 'residual flux' to start the generating process. The series winding, if connected to AID the shunt field, can boost the field flux as load comes onto the machine and correct for the normal 'droop' in output voltage as the load increases. If set up properly, this correction makes the generator self-regulating. Because the fields aid each-other, this connection is called 'cumulative compounded'. This type of machine is the workhorse of the larger generator market. If the series field winding is connected so it's field OPPOSES the shunt field, then the output voltage of the generator collapses as the machine is loaded up. This connection is referred to as 'differential compounded', and is only used for arc welding generators - they have a high voltage before the arc is struck; a fairly low voltage during welding operations, and if the rod sticks to the work, they shut the generator down without damaging it.


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.
