compound generator
In this type, the part of the field winding is connected in parallel with armature and part in series with the armature. Both series and shunt field winding are mounted on the same poles. Depending upon the connection of shunt and series field winding compound generator is further classified as .
1. Long shunt compound generator
2. Short shunt compound generator
1. Long shunt compound generator
In this type, shunt field winding is connected across the series combination of armature and series field winding as shown in the picture.
2. Short shunt compound generator
In this type, shunt field winding is connected, only across the armature excluding series field winding as shown in the below picture
