A booster is a_________________?
Correct answer: A. series wound generator
- A. series wound generator
- B. shunt wound generator
- C. synchronous generator
- D. none of the above
Explanation
A booster is normally a series-wound generator connected in series with a feeder to compensate for voltage drop. Its series field carries the feeder current, so a shunt generator is not the usual booster arrangement.
