TERMINAL OBJECTIVE

1.0 Given the type and application of a direct current (DC) generator, DESCRIBE the operating characteristics of that generator including methods of voltage production, advantages of each type, and voltage-vs-load characteristics.

ENABLING OBJECTIVES

1.1 DEFINE terminal voltage as it applies to DC generators.

1.2 DEFINE counter-electromotive force (CEMF) as it applies to a DC machine.

1.3 DESCRIBE the effects of commutation in a DC generator.

1.4 STATE the purpose of each of the following components of a DC machine: a. Armature

b. Rotor c. Stator d. Field

1.5 LIST the three conditions necessary to induce a voltage into a conductor.

1.6 Using the left-hand rule of generators, DETERMINE the direction of the magnetic field, the motion of the conductor, or the direction of current induced into a conductor.

1.7 DESCRIBE how terminal voltage of a DC generator is adjusted.

1.8 STATE the basis behind each of the four DC generator ratings.

1.9 LIST the four internal losses found in a DC generator.

1.10 DESCRIBE the differences in construction between a shunt-wound and a series-wound DC generator with respect to the relationship between the field and the armature.

1.11 DESCRIBE the relationship between the shunt and series fields for cumulativelycompounded and differentially-compounded DC generators.

1.12 DESCRIBE the voltage-vs-load current characteristics for a flat-compounded, overcompounded, and under-compounded DC generator.
