TO STUDY THE CONNECTIONS AND OPERATION OF A SELF-EXCITED SERIES-
WOUND DC GENERATOR WHEN DRIVEN WITH THE HELP OF A PRIME MOVER

APPARATUS:
Two DC machines of the same type (Model: M-1/EV); one will be used as a series-wound DC
generator and another one as a shunt-wound DC motor i.e. the prime mover, a variable DC
power supply (Model: CEM-E-A/EV), connecting wires, voltmeters, and ammeters.

PROCEDURE:
Connect one DC machine as a shunt-wound DC motor and another as a series-wound DC
generator according to the circuit diagram. The shunt-wound DC motor will be used as a prime-
mover to mechanically drive the armature of the series-wound DC generator.

Note that prime mover is the machine which mechanically drives the shaft of the generator i.e.
which provides mechanical energy to the generator.

Mechanically couple the shafts (armatures) of the two DC machines. Now switch on the DC
power supply and gradually increase the input voltage of the shunt-wound DC motor. The shunt-
wound DC motor will start rotating and will also mechanically drive the armature of the series-
wound DC generator. As soon as the armature of the series-wound DC generator starts rotating,
it will build up the voltage across its output terminals detectable by a DC voltmeter.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

Types of DC Generators
DC Generators are classified based on the position of the field coils and armature in the circuit,
and how the generator’s magnetic field is excited (i.e. produced). Some portable generators are
DC generators.
Series Wound Generators
In series wound generators, field winding and the armature winding are connected in series so
that current that passes through external circuit and through field windings, passes from armature
as shown in the figure below. The field coil of series-wound generator has low resistance, consist
of a few turns of thick wire. If the load resistance decreases, then current flow increases.
As a result magnetic field and output voltage increases in the circuit. In such type generator,
output voltage varies directly with respect to load current which is not required in most of the
application. Due to this reason, such types of generators are rarely used.

Shunt Wound DC Generators


In this type of generator, the field winding is wired parallel to the armature winding so that
voltage is same across the circuit. Here, field winding has many numbers of turns for the desired
high resistance so that fewer armatures current can pass through field winding and the reaming
passes through load.
In shunt wound generator, as they are connected parallel, current in the parallel branches are
independent of each other. Hence, the output voltage almost constant and if it varies then it
varies inversely with respect to load current. This is because of the voltage drop as armature
resistance increases.

Combination Wound Generator


Compound wound generator is advanced version of series wound generator and shunt wound
generator. The working principle of the generator is the combination of two types so that it
prevail over the disadvantages of both. It has both types of winding; series field and shunt field
winding. On the basis of their connection, compound wound generators are of two types- short
shunt compound generator and long shunt compound generator.

Long Shunt Compound Generator

Here the shunt field winding is connected parallel to armature only as shown in figure. Series
winding is then connected in series.

Short Shunt Compound Generator

Here the shunt field winding is connected parallel to armature only as shown in figure. Series
winding is then connected in series.
