Circuit diagram double circuit generator

As -wound generator (also: composite generator or Compound generator respectively Compound generator ), the design of a electric generator refers to a combination of shunt and series wound generator represents (series-wound generator).

description

The double circuit generator has two excitation windings which are attached to the same main pole . These two windings consist of a shunt winding and the other a series winding . A field regulator is connected in series with the shunt winding. The series winding with the shunt circuit is usually connected in such a way that the magnetic fields have the same directions with one another and thus strengthen the magnetic field of the stator when the machine is loaded. As a result, the electrical voltage of the double circuit generator - in contrast to the shunt generator - is higher under load .

If the voltage of a generator is almost independent of the load, it is called compounded . If the generator is overcompounded , the voltage increases under load. In the case of counter-compounding , the series winding is switched in such a way that the magnetism in the stator decreases when there is a load and thus the voltage also drops sharply.

use

Double circuit generators are used as excitation machines to supply the excitation current for synchronous generators .
