1. A separately excited DC generator has the field connected a. across the armature. b. in series with the armature. c. to an external circuit. d. none of the above 2. F1 and F2 generator terminals are a. shunt field leads. b. series field leads. c. armature leads. d. commutating pole leads. 3. The voltage of a separately excited DC generator may be increased by a. increasing the speed of rotation of the armature. b. decreasing the magnetic flux. c. both a and b d. neither a nor b 4. The function of brushes on a generator is to a. carry the current to the external circuit. b. prevent sparking. c. keep the commutator clean. d. reverse the connections to the armature to provide DC.
Synchronous Generator
In comparison to an asynchronous generator, it is a machine where the rotor speed is equal to the rotating magnetic field produced by the stator, i.e., mechanical speed is equal to the electrical speed, thus called synchronous, and not asynchronous.
Salient Pole Rotor
Salient pole rotor includes a large number of exposed poles mounted on a magnetic wheel. The construction of a bright pole is as shown in the image on the left. The proposed poles are made of metal laminations. The rotor winding is provided on these poles and is supported by pole shoes.
