I. INTRODUCTION
Rotating electrical machines are widely used for
converting energy from one form to another. The two most
frequently used types of machines are motors and generators.
In our experiment we focus on studying the relationships and
characteristics of a dc series generator. In studying dc
generator, there are three types of dc generator: shunt, series,
and compound. Each type can be characterized by its field
winding or windings. If the excitation originates in a field
winding connected in series with the armature, so that the flux
depends upon the current delivered to the load, the machine is
called series generator.
The exciting current through the field winding of a series
generator is the same current the generator delivers to the
load. If the load has high resistance, and only draws a small
amount of
current, the excitation current is also small.
Therefore, the magnetic field of the series field winding is
weak, making the generated voltage low. And also if the
load draws current, the excitation current increases, the
magnetic field becomes stronger and the generator delivers an
output voltage. Therefore, in a series generator, changes in
load current greatly affect the generator output voltage.
In a series generator, changes in load current greatly affect
the generator output voltage. A series generator has very poor
voltage regulation and is not recommended for use as a power.
II. METHODOLOGY
The materials used in the experiment were FH2 MkIV Test
Bed, FH50 DC Compound Machine, V2 DC Voltmeter, A2
DC Ammeter,FH3 MkIV Instrumentation frame, connecting
wires and R1 Resistive load.
After gathering all the data for output current and voltage,
we now plot the data to investigate their relationship.

IV. CONCLUSION
Experiment 2 is about Series Generator. The field
windings are in series with the armature and load. The only
objective of this experiment is to investigate the relationship
between the output voltage and the output current of a DC
series generator when driven at a constant speed. When R1 is
not yet changed or simply at no load, the series field current is
zero but there is still a small reading on generated voltage due
to the residual flux. But when R1 is changed or now loaded,
the current flows in the whole circuit and it will have its
corresponding output voltage. We can conclude that the output
voltage is dependent on the current delivered to the load
because increasing the load also means increasing the output
current which results to an increase on the output voltage.
From the graph, at high loads, the voltage starts decrease in
value due to excessive demagnetizing effects of armature
reaction. We can conclude that the output voltage starts to
decrease as load current is increased.
