iNTRODUCTION

An electric generator is a machine which converts

mechanical energy into electrical energy
An electric generator is based on the principle
that,”Whenever magnetic flux is cut by a conductor, an
emf is induced in it will cause a current to flow, if the
conductor circuit is closed. The direction of Emf is given by
Flemings right hand rule.”

TYPES OF DC GENERATORS
DC generators are of following types :
1. Separately excited DC generator : A DC
generator whose field magnet winding is
supplied from an independent external DC
source (battery) is called separately excited DC
generator
2. Self excited DC generator: a DC generator
whose field magnet winding is supplied current
from the output of the generator itself is called
self excited generator.
this are of following types:
1. series generator
2. Shunt generator
3. Compound generator
