    Uploaded by

    Anne P. Taytay
    The document describes different types of DC generators, including separately excited, self-excited, shunt wound, series wound, and compound wound generators. It provides the circuit diagrams and equations for each type. It then gives examples of calculations for various DC generator parameters like generated EMF, power output, efficiency, and voltage under different load conditions. The last section describes parallel operation of DC generators and provides an example calculation for determining the common terminal voltage of two generators in parallel.

    Types of DC Generators

    1. Separately Excited Generators are those generators whose field magnets are energized from an
    independent external source of DC current.
    2. Self Excited Generators are those generators whose field magnets are energized by the current
    produced by the generator themselves.
    These generators can be divided in accordance with how the field winding is connected into
    generators as follows:
    • Shunt wound generators
    • Series Wound Generators
    • Compound Wound Generators
    ❖ Short Shunt
    ❖ Long Shunt
    Separately Excited Generator
    The field winding of the generator is excited or supplied from a separate or external
    dc source like a battery or another dc generator.

    E=𝑉𝐿 + 𝐼𝑎𝑅𝑎
    Series Generator
    The field windings are connected in series with the armature windings

    Ia=Ise=𝐼𝐿 =I

    E=𝑉𝐿 +Ia(Ra+Rse)
    DC Shunt Generator
    The field windings are connected across the armature windings.

    Ish=𝑉𝐿 /Rsh

    Ia= 𝐼𝐿 +Ish

    E= 𝑉𝐿 +IaRa
    DC Long Shunt Generator
    This generator is a combination of the shunt and series generators.The series field
    winding is connected in series with the armature winding.

    Ish= V/Rsh

    Ia= 𝐼𝐿 +Ish

    E= 𝑉𝐿 +Ia(Ra+Rse)
    DC Short Shunt Generator
    This generator is a combination of the shunt and series generators. The series field
    winding is connected in series with the load.
    Ish= Vsh/Rsh

    Ia= 𝐼𝐿 +Ish

    Vsh= 𝑉𝐿 + 𝐼𝐿 𝑅𝑠𝑒

    E=Vsh+(Ra+Rse)
    A series generator has an armature resistance of 0.1 ohms and a
    series field resistance of 0.05 ohms. Find the generated emf when
    delivering 10kW at 110V. Assume a total brush drop of 2V.
    A 25kW series generator has an efficiency of 85% when operating a
    rated load. Find the total power loss.
    A dc shunt generator is supplying 1.8kW to a load at 200V. The
    armature field resistances are 0.4 and 200 ohms. Find the generated
    emf.
    A 200kW, 200V dc shunt generator has a brush resistance of 0.005
    ohms, an armature resistance of 0.065 ohms and shunt field
    resistance of 200 ohms. Find the power developed in the armature if
    it delivers its rated load.
    A dc shunt generator has a generated emf at no load of 125V. The
    armature and field resistances are 0.02 ohms and 15 ohms
    respectively. When the generator is carrying a load, the terminal
    voltage drops to 120V. Find the load current.
    A dc shunt generator delivers 20kW at 200V. The armature and shunt
    field resistances are 0.05 ohms and 50 ohms respectively. If the stray
    power losses are equal to the copper loss at this load, find the
    efficiency.
    A 5kW, 120V dc long-shunt compound generator has an armature,
    series field, and shunt field resistances of 0.23 ohms, 0.04 ohms, and
    57.5 ohms. If the voltage drop at the brushes is 2V,find the induced
    emf at rated load.
    A dc short-shunt compound generator has an armature series field
    and shunt fields resistances of 0.025, 0.008, and 77 ohms. When the
    armature current is 128A and induced emf is 234.2V, find the
    terminal voltage.
    Parallel Operation of DC Generators
    Generators are connected in parallel in order to avoid overloading
    the generators since each generator in each parallel operation will
    share a common load.
    Requirements:
    -equal magnitude of terminal voltage
    -same terminal polarity
    -same type of dc generator
    Parallel Operation Problem Given
    Internal Parameters of the Generators
