Generators

A DC generator is an electrical device designed to generate electricity by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Common sources of mechanical energy include: DC

This article describes the DC generator equations and formulas, including parameters for shunt and series generators, EMF calculations, armature and field current equations, power analysis,

Armature reaction refers to the effect of the magnetic field produced by the armature current on the main magnetic field of the DC machine. A

The three main characteristics of a DC generator are used to analyze the operating behavior of the generator. After studying the generator characteristics, it is
