The
use of shunt generator is somewhat restricted. It is used to supply power to
equipment located within the immediate vicinity of the generator. Its use is
not satisfactory for supplying power to remotely located points because not
only does the terminal voltage of the generator drop as load increases, but
there is also a voltage drop in the line. The greater the load the greater the
greater the voltage drop in line. The combined effect of the reduction in
generator voltage plus the line drop makes the shunt generator unsatisfactory
for the transmission of power over long distances.
Diverter
resistor: A resistance shunting the series field of a
compound generator to adjust the degree of compounding to produce a desired
voltage regulation is called diverter resistor.
