Question

what are the uses of DC generator ?

Answer 1

Separately excited DC Generators are used in laboratories for testing as they have a wide range of voltage output.

Used as a supply source of DC motors.

DC shunt wound generators are used for lighting purposes.

Used to charge the battery.

.Providing excitation to the alternators.

Answer 2

Shunt generators are used in supplying nearly constant loads. They are used for battery charging, for supplying the fields of synchronous machines and separately excited DC machines. Series generators are ideal for use as boosters for adding voltage to the transmission lines and to compensate for the line drop.
