For lower values of the field ampere turns, the flux is approximately proportional to the field amperes turns and therefore, saturation curve is a straight line. At point ‘C’ the field core begins to become saturated and the curve falls away from the straight line due to varying permeability ofiron. EMF generated in a generator is given by expression. te @ZNP 860A N =speed of armature ‘© =flux per pole. Fg a on If generator runs at a constant speed then generated emf is directly proportional to the flux per pole. —_—_—_—_—_—_—_———— BIT/EE/Electrical Machine-I Lab Journal/2019 Page 33453___ Thus when machine is running at a constant speed then curve so obtained will be similar to magnetization curve and it is called magnetic characteristics of D.C. generator. Procedure: 1. Connect ckt. as shown in diagram below. 2. Set Rhy for MIN & PD for zero output Position. 3. Switch on DC power supply. 4. Run the DC Prime mover of Generator with help of 3 point DC starter. 5. Adjust the speed of prime mover to the rated value of Generator speed using field Rheostat of motor. 6. Switch on DC Supply to the field winding of generator and pass a small current changing setting of excitation unit or Potential divider. Note field current and generator voltage. Increase field current in steps and note the corresponding armature voltage. Take that reading up to slight higher then rated voltage. 7. Plot Armature Voltage versus the Field Current.
