Which of the following generator will have negligible terminal voltage while running on no-load?
Correct answer: A. Series generator
- A. Series generator
- B. Shunt generator
- C. Compound generator
- D. Separately excited generator
Explanation
A series generator has its field winding in series with the load, so at no load its field current is nearly zero and only a small residual voltage is produced. Shunt and separately excited generators can maintain substantial no-load voltage.
