Characteristics of D.C. Generators
The d.c. generators have following characteristics in general, 1) Magnetization characteristics 2) Load characteristics 1.Magnetization Characteristics This characteristics is the graph of generated no load voltage E against the field current I f , when speed of, generator is maintained constant. As it is plotted without load with open output terminals it is also called No load characteristics or Open circuit characteristics. E o V s I f is magnetization characteristics Where E o = No load induced e.m.f. But for generator, E = (ΦPNZ) / (60A) . . . E α Φ with (PNZ) / (60A) constant . . . E α I f ...
