Abstract

There are several types of Direct Current machines. In this chapter, the authors highlight the types and characteristics of DC generator. Load characteristics of DC generator are then discussed. They then discuss separately excited generators, self-excited shut generators, series generators, and compound generators. Finally, they discuss voltage build-up in self-excited generators and critical field resistance.
