APPLICATIONS OF DC GENERATOR

DC Separately Exited Generator:

As a supply source to DC Motors, whose speed is to be controlled for certain

applications. Where a wide range of voltage is required for the testing purposes.

DC Shunt Generator:

The terminal voltage of DC shunt generator is more or less constant from no load to
full load .Therefore these generators are used where constant voltage is required.
For electro plating
Battery charging
For excitation of Alternators.

DC Series Generator:

The terminal voltage of series generator increases with load current from no load to
full load .Therefore these generators are,
Used as Boosters
Used for supply to arc Lamps

DC Compound Generator:

Differential Compound generators are used to supply dc welding machines. Level

compound generators are used to supply power for offices, hostels and Lodges etc.
Over compound generators are used to compensate the voltage drop in Feeders.
