The equation is

Ea = PNw(phi)/(pi) (see formated at http://www.sitmo.com/gg/latex/latex2png.2.php?z=100&eq=E_a%3D\frac{PNw\phi}{\pi})

where Ea is the induced voltage, P the number of poles of the machine, w the electric frequency in rad/s, (phi) the magnetic flux.

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.


How is the induced voltage of separately excited dc generator affected if the exciting current is reduced?

In a separately excited DC generator, the induced voltage is directly related to the magnetic field strength produced by the field winding, which is influenced by the exciting current. If the exciting current is reduced, the magnetic field strength decreases, leading to a reduction in the induced voltage. Consequently, the output voltage of the generator will decrease as the field strength diminishes, assuming all other factors remain constant.


What is dc separately excited shunt generator?

Either or both can be separately excited. To generate voltage you need a big magnet( the field). Most generators use an electro-magnet. Now the electro-magnet needs a source of power (electricity). We could use the generators own output to excite the field (magnet), this is called self excitation. The problem with self excitation is that we have to wait for the generator to turn and start generating, also to start generating (Building up) there must be some left over magnetism from the last time it was run (called residual magnetism) or not even a little voltage will be generated to start the field current flowing. To solve these problems we could use separately excited. This means we must have a separate source of power to excite the field to produce the magnetism. Sometimes a battery or gasoline driven generator is used to excite the field of a very large generator to get it generating and then we can use some of the generated output to either recharge the battery or switch over to from the battery. In any case we have adjustable control of the generator all the time. This is why most generators are designed to be separately excited. And that is why you car has a voltage regulator. It wakes up the alternator when the engine is started by separately exciting it (the field) with the battery and then regulates the output voltage of the alternator as the engine changes speed with the driver's commands from the gas pedal.


Where does the voltage that is necessary for field excitation on the rotor originates from?

The excitation current is provided by a small self-excited pilot generator, attached to the same shaft as the alternator's rotor.


What are the condition of building up a self excited shunt generator?

self excited generator must be started without any external load attached ,an external load will continuously drain off the build up voltage and prevent the generator from reaching its proper operating voltage. also the presence of residual magnetism plays an important role And the field current resistance should be less than critic field circuit resistance

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.

What is separately-excited generator?

in a separately excited generator the field coils are excited from a separate source like a dc battery may be or any other small generator. They are self starting generators.


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.


What is a shunt generator?

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.

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.

The excitation current is provided by a small self-excited pilot generator, attached to the same shaft as the alternator's rotor.
