Applications of DC Generators

Shunt generators are used for supplying nearly constant loads. They are used for battery charging, for supplying the fields of synchronous machines and separately excited DC machines.

Series generators are used as boosters for adding a voltage to the transmission line and to compenstate for the line drop.

Cumulatively compound generators maintain better voltage regulation and used where constant of voltage is required like lamp loads etc. The differential compound generator are widely used in arc welding.
