SEPARATELY EXCITED
➢ Where the field windings are connected
to a source of supply other than the
armature of its own machine.
➢ Use in special cases such as when a
wide variation in the terminal Pd is
required or when exact control of the
field current is necessary its advantage
lies in requiring a separate source of
direct current.

➢When the field windings receives its
supply from armature of its own
machine and which are subdivided
into
A.) Shunt
B.) Series
C.) Compound Wound Generator
A. SHUNT WOUND GENERATOR

The armature coils and shunt fields

coils are connected in parallel.

the field windings are connected

across or in parallel with the
armature conductors and have the
full voltage of the generator
applied across them

 B. SERIES WOUND GENERATOR
 The excitation originates in field
winding connected in series with the
armature. So, the flux depends upon
the currents delivered to the load.

 The armature coils and series fields

coils are connected in series.

Pg = Eg Ia

E = VL + Ia (Ra +Rse)
C. COMPOUND WOUND GENERATOR

Two methods of connection are

used both having a mixture of
shunt and series windings.
1. LONG SHUNT COMPOUND
GENERATOR

➢The series field coils are

connected in series with the
armature coils while the shunt
field coils are connected across
the series combination.

A separately excited generator

running at 1200 rpm supplies 200 A at
125 V to a circuit of constant
resistance. Armature circuit resistance
is 0.10 ohms. Determine the terminal
voltage, when the speed is dropped to
1000 rpm. Assume that the field
current is unaltered.

A DC series generator is supplying a
current of 5 A to a series lighting system
through a feeder of total resistance of 1.0
ohm. The terminal voltage is 2500V. The
armature and series field resistance are
respectively 18 ohms and 15 ohms. A 30
