• In a long shunt-wound generator, the shunt field winding is parallel with
both armature and series field winding. The connection diagram of the long
shunt-wound generator is shown below:
Short Shunt Compound Wound Generator
• In a Short Shunt Compound Wound Generator, the shunt field winding is
connected in parallel with the armature winding only. The connection diagram of
a short shunt-wound generator is shown below.
