Applications of Separately Excited DC Generator

  1. Since it has a very wide range of output voltage, it is used in laboratories.
  2. For DC motors, it is used as a supply source.


Applications of DC Shunt Generator

  1. It is used for excitation in AC generators or alternator.
  2. Since the voltage drop is very small, it is used as a source for loads, which need constant voltage.
  3. It acts as a source for battery charging, electroplating and electrolytic purposes.


Applications of DC Series Generator

  1. It is used in series arc lighting and incandescent lighting.
  2. It is used as a booster to compensate the voltage drop in the line during loading.
  3. It is used for regenerative braking of DC locomotives.


Applications of Compound Generator

  1. It is used to provide constant voltage at the line by proper compounding.
  2. Differently compounded generator is used for arc-welding purposes.
  3. Cumulative compounded generator is used to supply power to railway circuits, incandescent lamps, elevator motors, lighting, heavy power supply, offices, hotels, homes, schools etc.
