Question 534Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passIn a shunt-wound DC generator, with what generator component are the shunt field windings connected in parallel with?
Athe compensating windings
Bthe armature circuit
Cthe series field winding
Dthe interpoles
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) the armature circuit. In a shunt-wound DC generator, the shunt field windings are connected in parallel with the armature circuit. This allows the shunt field to operate at a different current and voltage than the armature, enabling independent control of the field excitation and the armature output. The other options are incorrect because the compensating windings, series field windings, and interpoles are not the components that the shunt field windings are connected in parallel with in a shunt-wound DC generator.
