Long shunt Short shunt


Separately Excited
● Field magnets are energized by some external DC source

Eg = V+IaRa+ 2Vb

Eg = Generated voltage at armature


V = Terminal voltage
Ia = Armature current
Ra = Armature resistance Pgenerated = EgIa
Vb = brush drop Poutput = VIL
Series Wound Generator
● Field coil connected series with armature winding
● Winding consist of thick wire of a few turns
● Normally resistance less than one ohm.

Eg = V+Ia (Ra+ Rse) + 2Vb


Eg = Generated voltage at armature
V = Terminal voltage
Ia = Armature current
Ise = Series field current
Ia = Ise=IL
Ra = Armature resistance
Rse = Series field resistance
Vb = brush drop
Shunt Wound Generator
● Field winding connected across the armature
● Full voltage applied across it
● Winding consist of thin wire of a many turns
● Resistance of the order of 100 ohm.

Eg = V+IaRa+ 2Vb
Eg = Generated voltage at armature
V = Terminal voltage
Ia = Armature current
Ish = Shunt field current
IL = Load current
Ia=IL+ Ish
Ra = Armature resistance
Rsh = Shunt field resistance
Pgenerated = EgIa
Vb = brush drop Poutput = VIL
