    Dc Generator
AI Thread Summary
Compounding in a DC compound generator refers to the configuration where part of the field coil is connected in parallel with the rotor coil, while another part is in series. This setup allows the generator to maintain a more consistent speed under varying load conditions. The combination of series and parallel connections enhances the generator's performance and stability. Proper compounding helps in achieving better voltage regulation. Understanding this concept is crucial for optimizing generator functionality.

What is meant by "compunding" in a dc compund generator

Hi friends, i have a doubt and i hope this would not mind you at all
What is meant by "compunding" in a dc compund generator
I hope someone of you can help me. :cool:

Must be a typo. Please check the spelling of the word.
 
i am sorry friend... u will have to pardon me its "compounding" but not "compunding"

It means that part of the field coil (stator) is in parallel with the rotor coil and part is in series.

This makes it possible for a motor to have a more even speed with varying loads.
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
