Shunt Generator
A shunt Generator consists of armature winding and the field winding in parallel. The magnetic field of the generator are exited by coils around the field poles. the construction of these coils and their connections to other electrical circuits determine the operating characteristics of the machine
where:
V- terminal voltage, voltage at the load,V
IL- is the Load current
E- Generated emf, V
Losses= Electrical losses + Mechanical losses
