Can You Simulate a DC Generator's Performance Using Circuit Models?

AI Thread Summary
A discussion on simulating a DC generator's performance highlights that using a circuit model with internal resistance and load in series, along with armature voltage as the source, is a valid approach. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the parameters like internal resistance, flux, and generator constant for accurate simulation. One user expresses frustration over a spam-like response that detracts from the technical discussion. The conversation underscores the need for clarity and relevance in forum contributions. Overall, the thread focuses on the feasibility of circuit modeling for DC generator performance analysis.

If I have an internal resistance of the motor and the value of flux and the generator constant, can I simulate the system's performance by a circuit with two circuits in series, one being the internal resistance, and the other being the load, and the voltage source being the armature voltage?

Yes that is exactly what you would do.

Someone please find this guy and smack him in the head. My apologies if you are not a spammer Jacob, but if you aren't, why would you post in this manner? It simply appears that you are searching the net for possible leads and just toss something out there in hopes that it generates sales. I would guess that you don't even understand the question. The folks that run this board work hard to keep it clean. Oh well, I'm probably talking to no one.

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
