Types of d.c.

generators

1. Separately excited generator

2. Self excited generator.
(i) Series wound generator
(ii) Shunt wound generator
(iii) Compound wound generator------(a).Long shunt compound wound,(b)short
shunt wound compound generator.

1. Magnetic field system, - field winding [ F1, F2], MMF-magneto motive force
2. Group of conductors – Armature winding[A1, A2], EMF – Electro motive force
