Question

A shunt generator has an induced voltage on open circuit of 127 V. When the machine is on load the terminal voltage is 120 V. Find the load current if the field circuit resistance be 15 $\Omega$ and the armature resistance 0.02 $\Omega$. Ignore armature reaction.

Answer 1

The shunt generator is one of the different parts of this experiment and this unique generator does work with a form of rotation.

The voltages difference does depend on whether the core is saturated and the unsaturated.

The reduction of the voltage differs with whether it is saturated or unsaturated.
