A compound generator has both series and shunt field windings. When those windings are connected so their fields oppose each other in the production of magnetism, that connection is called _____.
A) cumulative-compound
B) differential-compound
Differential-compound
Refers to a type of compound wound DC generator or motor that combines both series and shunt windings to achieve specific electrical characteristics.
Cumulative-compound
Refers to a type of DC generator where both series and shunt field windings add their magnetic fluxes to produce the total output voltage.
Shunt Field
A coil wound with small wire and having many turns designed to be connected in parallel with the armature of a DC machine.
