The terminal voltage of a DC shunt generator on loading

The terminal voltage of a DC shunt generator on loading Correct Answer decreases slightly

  • The terminal voltage of the dc shunt generator on loading decrease slightly
  • We know that EMF generate (E) in a D.C generator is the sum of terminal voltage (V) and the voltage drop in the armature winding due to the current flowing through it
  • V = E – Ia × Ra
  • When the generator is loaded the current flowing through the armature increases to generate the required torque to rotate the load
  • This increased current causes the drop in terminal voltage of the generator
