Shunt Wound DC Generator DefinitionIn shunt wound DC generators, the field windings are connected in parallel with the armature conductors. In these types of generators the armature current (Ia) splits into two parts: the shunt field current (Ish) flows through the shunt field winding, and the load current (IL) flows through the external load.Three most important characteristic of shunt wound DC generators are discussed below:Magnetic CharacteristicThe magnetic characteristic curve shows the rel
