Short shunt to long shunt compound generator (10 kW, 220 V)
Short answer
In short-shunt, induced emf is 252.75 V. Reconnected as long-shunt with same emf and armature current, terminal voltage becomes 219.3 V.
Case-I: A short shunt cumulative compound dc generator supplies 10 kW at 220 V. The shunt field, series field and armature resistance are 100, 0.3 and 0.4 ohms respectively. Calculate the induced emf. Case-2: If the same generator is re-connected in long shunt compound mode and same value of emf and armature current is generated, calculate the terminal voltage across the load.
Given: kW, V, , , . Brush drop neglected.
Case 1: Short-shunt connection
+--Ra--+-------Rse-------+

Case 2: Reconnected as long shunt, same and
+--Ra--Rse--+-----------+

+-----------+-----------+
Now the armature current flows through both and :
Check: A, A, which is consistent.
Answer: Case 1: induced emf V. Case 2: terminal voltage in long shunt V (slightly lower, because the series field now carries the larger armature current).
