    The document describes an experiment to determine the magnetization and load characteristics of a DC series generator. The experiment involves separately exciting the field to obtain the magnetization curve, then connecting the generator to a load and measuring voltage and current output at varying loads. Key findings are expected to include the shapes of the magnetization, external, and internal characteristics curves and identifying the critical field resistance.

    Determination of the magnetization and Load
    characteristics of a DC series generater.

    Theory :-
    The machine cannot produce any voltage when it is disconnected
    from the load except that generated due to residual magnetism in the pole
    pieces . consequently at no load voltage of a series generator is
    approximately zero as against the shunt machine in which the voltage at
    on –load. Both the armature and the series field carry the same load
    current . So the voltage increases with the load current . Without the
    effects of armature –reaction, the emf characteristics would be similar to
    the magnetization curve. Armature reaction effect and the IL(Rf+Ra) drop
    both reduce the terminal voltage . The net result is a generally rising
    characteristic like that shown curve AC in fig.1. But if saturation is
    approached the characteristics drops and in the extreme , becomes nearly
    vertical. Neglecting the armature reaction effect, the output voltage.

    V=E-IL(Ra+Rf)=IL RL.

    V= open circuit voltage.

    IL=load current.

    Rf=series field resistance.


    Ra=armatuer and interpole resistance.

    RL=load resistance.

    Internal characteristics (curve AE) is obtained by adding ordinates of


    (Ra+Rf)IL to external (curve AC) . The magnetization characteristic is
    represented by (curve AB).

    Procedure :-
    A- The series field is separately excited from a d.c. source , (fig.2) and
    the machine running up to normal speed, the magnetization curve
    is obtained .
    B- The machine is connected as in fig(3) and run up to normal speed
    and no-load voltage is observed . the speed is maintained constant .
    the switch (S) is closed and load resistance RL is gradually reduced
    until the machine builds up . Increase IL up to about 20% over load.
    When the armature resistance and the field resistance are still warm
    the armature and field resistance are measured, using a low voltage
    d.c. supply by ammeter and voltmeter method.

    Conclusion :-
    A) Draw the magnetization curve or open – circuit characteristics and
    explained the shape.

    B) 1-Draw the external and internal characteristics and find out the
    critical voltage the resistance.

    2-Discuss the shape of the load characteristic and compare it with

    The other types of the D.C machines.


    C) what is the critical field resistance for this generator .
