    Dc Generator
Click For 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.

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.

I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
