Question 183Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) propulsion generators which produce AC power that is converted to DC power for the shunt wound DC propulsion motor. Modern SCR (silicon-controlled rectifier) rectified DC propulsion drive systems typically use AC generators that produce alternating current (AC) power, which is then converted to direct current (DC) power using SCR rectifiers. This DC power is then used to power a shunt wound DC propulsion motor. The other options are incorrect because A) uses a DC generator, C) uses an AC generator with a synchronous AC motor, and D) uses a DC generator with a series wound DC motor, which are not the typical configurations for modern SCR rectified DC propulsion drive systems.
