    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

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 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

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 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
