Applications of DC Generators (DC Machines)
APPLICATIONS
OF DC GENERATORS
1. DC Shunt Generator
(i) In shunt generator,
terminal voltage is more or less constant. So these are used for supplying
loads needing constant voltage.
(ii) Electroplating
(iii) Battery charging
purpose
(iv) Exciters for AC
generators
2. DC Series Generators
(i) They are used for
series arc lighting.
(ii) They are used for
series incandescent lighting.
(iii) They are used as
boosters, for the purpose of compensating the drop in voltage in the lines on
loading.
(iv) Used for
regenerative braking of DC locomotives.
3. DC Compound Generators
(i) By means of
compound generator it is possible to give constant voltage at the line end by
proper compounding.
(ii) Differentially
compound generator may be used for welding purpose.
(iii) They are used to
supply power to railway circuits, incandescent lamps, elevator motors etc.
4. Separately Excited Generators
These generators are
used for
(i) Supplying DC motors
whose speed is to be varied widely.
(ii) Where a wide range
of DC voltage is required for testing purpose.
