What else can I help you with?
If the excitation of generator changes what happens to the terminal voltage?
By Decreasing the excitation voltage the terminal voltage will decrease and similarly by increasing the excitation voltages the terminal voltage will also increases.
Does the voltage output increase when a generator is made to spin faster?
You would have to apply a higher voltage from outside - for example, in the case of DC, connect a battery that provides more voltage, or connect more than one battery in series; or in the case of AC, use a transformer to increase the voltage.
What is the off load voltage of the generator?
Terminal voltage is the voltage between the output terminals of a generator.
Can you use a compound generator as a booster why?
Yes, a compound generator can be used as a booster because it has both series and shunt windings, allowing it to maintain voltage stability under varying load conditions. The series winding increases the output voltage in response to increased load, while the shunt winding provides a stable base voltage. This combination enables the generator to compensate for voltage drops, effectively boosting voltage when needed in electrical systems.
What is a transformer that increases voltage?
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
How is the induced voltage of separately excited dc generator affected if the speed increases?
as speed increases, induced voltage increases
How does the load affect voltage output of a series generator?
In a series generator, the voltage output is directly affected by the load. As the load increases, the voltage output decreases due to increased voltage drops across the internal resistance of the generator. Conversely, reducing the load will result in an increase in the voltage output.
If the excitation of generator changes what happens to the terminal voltage?
By Decreasing the excitation voltage the terminal voltage will decrease and similarly by increasing the excitation voltages the terminal voltage will also increases.
How current increases when the load increases in a generator?
Power is voltage times current. If you want to maintain constant voltage and yet increase power, then current must increase. Its simple math.
What is the excitation system in a generator used for?
The excitation system is used to control the excitation of the rotating field in the armature. By increasing the armature current, it in turn increases the magnetic flux in the armature coil. This has the effect of increasing the voltage output of the generator. By lowering the armature current this in turn lowers the generator output voltage. The generator's voltage regulator automatically adjusts the output voltage continuously as the applied load on the generator changes.
Why terminal voltage of a self excited shunt generator decreases with an increase of load?
The terminal voltage of a self-excited shunt generator decreases with an increase in load due to an increase in voltage drop across the internal resistance of the generator. As the load current increases, the drop across the internal resistance also increases, reducing the output voltage available at the terminals. This effect is known as voltage regulation and is a common characteristic of self-excited shunt generators.
Why should a prime mover's speed be kept constant?
As you asked the question and it was added it to the electrical category I am presuming that you are talking about electrical generation. The prime mover has to be kept at a constant speed. The speed of the prime mover governs the frequency of the voltage generated. As the load increases the engine will start to slow down. The engine's speed governor senses this drop in RPM, hence the drop in frequency, and increases the fuel supply to the engine by advancing the diesel engine's fuel rack. This action increases the engine speed and brings the generated frequency back to the required system frequency.Also as the load increases, the output voltage will start to decrease. The output voltage is controlled by the generator's voltage regulator. When the decrease in voltage is sensed by the voltage regulator, it increases the generator's field excitation voltage which will bring the voltage back to the required system voltage.These actions are going on continuously, balancing each other all the time the engine is running and the generator is producing an output voltage.
Does the voltage output increase when a generator is made to spin faster?
You would have to apply a higher voltage from outside - for example, in the case of DC, connect a battery that provides more voltage, or connect more than one battery in series; or in the case of AC, use a transformer to increase the voltage.

Generator excitation voltage?
the voltage which is given for creating magnetic field in a generator is known as excitation voltage.

What determines the voltage in a generator?
in generator the flux will determines the voltage. the flux will improve by auto voltage controller or any other equipment.
