Which generator would you prefer for feeding long D.C. transmission lines ?
Correct answer: C. Over compound generator
- A. Series generator
- B. Shunt generator
- C. Over compound generator
- D. Flat compound generator
Explanation
An over-compound generator raises its generated voltage with increasing load, compensating for the voltage drop in a long transmission line. A flat-compound generator maintains nearly constant terminal voltage at its own terminals instead.
