8. Discussion
The EMF generated is proportional to the flux density produced in its magnetic circuit and,
neglecting saturation in the iron, this is proportional to the current in the field winding. This
means that, when a small current is drawn, it will produce only a small voltage. When a large
current is drawn, since the current also flows through the field winding, the flux density will
be high, so the voltage generated will be high. The voltage depending greatly on the current
drawn is the same thing as poor voltage regulation.

The Armature and Field windings are in Series, as load increases, increasing armature
current, field current increases the same amount, building both field strength in the stator
26 | P a g e
(which builds more induced voltage in the armature) and magnetic field strength in the rotor
(which opposes rotor and shaft rotation). So, as the generator’s load (current) increases, field
strength increases, terminal voltage increases to match and shaft rotation slows as the rotor’s
increased field opposes the stator’s increased magnetic field.

9. Conclusion
As a conclusion, we can conclude that the DC generator converts mechanical energy into
an electrical energy. Higher speed of the generator will generate higher voltage value.

8. Discussion

In a DC shunt generator we need to build up the voltage. In the process of building up the
voltage we have a residual flux in the shunt field of DC generator. When a small current
enters the shunt field it develops additional flux in it. Now this added flux links with the
armature and increases the current. Again this current enters the shunt field and same
process is repeated. It hardly takes 3 to 4 seconds to build up the voltage.

30 | P a g e
Now if we consider the case when we have connected the load across the machine. When
the current starts flowing from the armature, it has two paths to flow.

1. Towards the shunt field


2. Towards the load

As the resistance of the load side is very low (0.6 to 0.8 ohms) as compared to shunt
field having a resistance in the range of 50 to 60 ohms. So negligible current will flow
through the shunt field and flux will not build up in the shunt field and voltage build up
is not possible.

9. Conclusion

To conclude this report, we can summarize that DC Shunt Generator torque will increase
as the load increase.

8. Discussion

A compound DC generator is one in which the series flux and shunt flux cumulatively add
as the load increases. The shunt field coil of the DC machine is parallel to the armature only
and the series field coil is in series with this combination. In a compound wound generator,
the shunt field is stronger than the series field. When the series field assists the shunt field,
generator is said to be commutatively compound wound. On the other hand, if the series field
opposes the shunt field, the generator is said to be differentially compound wound. Due to
shunt winding speed will not become excessively high but due to series winding it will be able
to take heavy loads.
34 | P a g e
9. Conclusion

Compound-wound generators use a series field, connected in series with the load, to react
to current load changes. It is connected to aid the shunt field or to oppose the shunt field. If
the series field is connected so that the resultant flux opposes the shunt field flux, then the
output voltage drops with an increase in current-draw and the generator is differentially
connected.

8. Discussion

Shunt field current is equal to,

Armature current, Ia = series field current,

Voltage across the load is equal to,

Power generated is equal to,

Power delivered to the load is equal to,

In a compound wound generator, the shunt field is stronger than the series field. When the
series field assists the shunt field, generator is said to be commutatively compound wound.

38 | P a g e
On the other hand, if the series field opposes the shunt field, the generator is said to be
differentially compound wound.

9. Conclusion

After doing this experiment, we can conclude that the characteristics of this circuit is that
when we increase the speed, the voltage increase while power and current are constant. For
long compound DC generator the shunt field winding is parallel to both armature and series
field winding.

8. Discussion

Since the field current of a separately excited machine is provided by an external source.
The armature current is obviously equal load current. Separately excited generators are used
on loads that require a wide variation in output voltage, such as motors that must operate
through large speed ranges. The separately excited generators remain large speed ranges.
The separately excited generators remain stable even at very low field excitation, which is
not true for self-excited shunt generators, as they become unstable after the terminal voltage
is reduced below a critical value which is usually still a substantial fraction of rated value. A
main disadvantage of separately excited generator is the need of separate source for
excitation.

9. Conclusion

As you can guess from the name itself, this DC Generator has a field magnet winding which
is excited using a separate voltage source (like battery). The output voltage depends on the
speed of rotation of armature and field current. The higher the speed of rotation and current –
the higher the output E. M. F.

8. Discussion
 Based on this practical, the speed will decrease as the torque increases.
 Meanwhile, the speed reduction from 2900rpm to 2290rpm increases the torque
from 0.0Nm to 0.8Nm
 For the star squirrel cage motor, it will stop working at a given point when it
exceeds 0.8Nm torque and 2290rpm speed.
 The star squirrel cage motor takes only a low torque to stop working.
 Based on this practical, we can summarise that the star squirrel cage motor is
fast in speed but poor in torque.
 Also based on theory, the star squirrel cage motor is indeed fast in speed but
low in torque.
 We should then assume that our practical results fit the hypothesis, so that our
practical results are a positive.

9. Conclusion

As a conclusion star squirrel cage motor characteristic is high speed but low torque. It is
then still in high speed but low torque as the motor stops running.

 For each resistor(R), as the torque increase the speed will decrease.
 For R1, the torque increased from 0Nm to 0.4Nm meanwhile the speed
decrease from 1466rpm to 1408rpm.
 For R2, when the torque at 0.8Nm, the speed decreased to 1367rpm.
 For R3, the speed will be 1342rpm when the torque reached 1.4rpm.
 We can see at the R4 the speed decreased from1440 to1406 when the torque
reached from 0.4Nm to 0.8Nm.
 In R5, when the torque reached 2Nm, the speed will decrease from1350rpm to
1308rpm.

be decreased.
 The results matched with the theory concept, so the practical are success.
