Which of the following generators will be preferred if they are required to be run in parallel?
Correct answer: A. Shunt generators
- A. Shunt generators
- B. Series generators
- C. Compound generators
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Shunt generators have a naturally drooping external characteristic, which gives stable load sharing when units operate in parallel. Series generators are unsuitable because their voltage characteristics vary strongly with load.
