A cumulative compound wound generator is a type of electrical generator that combines features of both series and shunt winding configurations. It has a series winding connected to the armature and a shunt winding connected to the field, allowing it to maintain a stable output voltage while providing high starting torque. This design is particularly useful in applications requiring variable loads, as it can adjust its output to meet demand efficiently. The cumulative aspect refers to the way the magnetic fields from both windings work together to enhance the generator's performance.
It is a Direct Current Motor which is wound and creates a magnetic field when energized and does not use a permanent magnet. Jeff S.
A DC generator can be either lap wound or wave wound, depending on its design and application. Lap winding is typically used for generators with lower voltage and higher current, as it allows for more parallel paths in the armature winding. Wave winding, on the other hand, is used for higher voltage applications and results in fewer parallel paths, providing smoother output and better performance at higher speeds. The choice between the two depends on the specific requirements of the electrical system.
A compound generator combines the features of both series and shunt wound generators to improve voltage regulation and load handling. It has two sets of field windings: one in series with the armature (series field) and another connected in parallel (shunt field). The series field increases its magnetic field strength with load, enhancing output voltage under high load conditions, while the shunt field provides stability and maintains voltage under varying load conditions. This configuration allows compound generators to effectively manage load variations while providing a stable output voltage.
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 kind of wound mechine is this...if it is wave wound mechine than Eg:357
Type your answer here... What is the mean of Comulative ?
Series wound. Parallel wound. Series/parallel or Compound wound.

self ducing
generators are machines that convert machanical energy to electrical energy and could be AC or DC. if in a DC generator has it field armature connection in both series and parallel its said to be compound dc generator.
An open compound fracture.
The purpose of the organic compound name generator is to help chemists and students quickly and accurately generate systematic names for organic compounds based on their chemical structure.
open or compound
An open fracture, also called a compound fracture, is a broken bone with an open skin wound.
It is a Direct Current Motor which is wound and creates a magnetic field when energized and does not use a permanent magnet. Jeff S.
It is called a compound or open fracture.
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.
