Q.1: What is the location of residual magnetism in a dc machine? What would be the maximum voltage
generated by a shunt generator if residual magnetism is absent? (03)

Q.2: Why is the nature of loading/external characteristics of a shunt or series generator undesirable
from a user perspective? What is the remedy? (03)

Q.3: What is the ‘load saturation curve’ of a separately excited generator? How is it different from the
‘open circuit characteristics’? (03)

Q.4: Following is the data-set of the O.C.C of a shunt generator obtained for 1600 rpm. Draw the O.C.C
of the same machine for 2000 rpm. (06)
