Applications of Separately Excited DC Generator
- Since it has a very wide range of output voltage, it is used in laboratories.
- For DC motors, it is used as a supply source.
Applications of DC Shunt Generator
- It is used for excitation in AC generators or alternator.
- Since the voltage drop is very small, it is used as a source for loads, which need constant voltage.
- It acts as a source for battery charging, electroplating and electrolytic purposes.
Applications of DC Series Generator
- It is used in series arc lighting and incandescent lighting.
- It is used as a booster to compensate the voltage drop in the line during loading.
- It is used for regenerative braking of DC locomotives.
Applications of Compound Generator
- It is used to provide constant voltage at the line by proper compounding.
- Differently compounded generator is used for arc-welding purposes.
- Cumulative compounded generator is used to supply power to railway circuits, incandescent lamps, elevator motors, lighting, heavy power supply, offices, hotels, homes, schools etc.
