    Compound Wound Generator Long & Short Shunt Compound Wound

    Uploaded by

    A compound wound generator has two sets of field windings - a shunt winding connected in parallel and a series winding connected in series. There are two types: a long shunt compound generator where the shunt winding is connected in parallel with both the armature and series windings, and a short shunt compound generator where the shunt winding is only connected in parallel with the armature. The magnetic flux from the series winding can either assist or oppose the flux from the shunt winding, determining if the generator is cumulatively or differentially compounded.

    Compound Wound Generator

    In a Compound Wound Generator, there are two sets of the field winding on each
    pole. One of them is connected in series having few turns of thick wire, and the other is
    connected in parallel having many turns of fine wire with the armature windings.

    In other words, the generator which has both shunt and series fields is called the
    compound wound generators.

    If the magnetic flux produced by the series winding assists the flux produced by the
    shunt winding, then the machine is said to be cumulative compounded. If the series field
    flux opposes the shunt field flux, then the machine is called the differentially
    compounded.

    It is connected in two ways. One is a long shunt compound generator, and another is a
    short shunt compound generator.

    If the shunt field is connected in parallel with the armature alone then the machine is
    called the short compound generator. In long shunt compound generator, the shunt field
    is connected in series with the armature. The two types of generators are discussed
    below in details.

    Long Shunt Compound Wound Generator

    In a long shunt-wound generator, the shunt field winding is parallel with both
    armature and series field winding. The connection diagram of the long shunt-wound
    generator is shown below:

    If the brush contact drop is included, the terminal voltage equation is written as:

    Short Shunt Compound Wound Generator

    In a Short Shunt Compound Wound Generator, the shunt field winding is connected
    in parallel with the armature winding only. The connection diagram of a short shunt-
    wound generator is shown below.

    The shunt field current is given as:

    Terminal voltage is given as:

    If the brush contact drop is included, the terminal voltage equation is written as:

    In this type of DC generator, the field is produced by the shunt as well as series winding.
    The shunt field is stronger than the series field. If the magnetic flux produced by the
    series winding assists the flux produced by the shunt field winding, the generator is said
    to be Cumulatively Compound Wound generator.

    If the series field flux opposes the shunt field flux, the generator is said to be
    Differentially Compounded.
