Reasons for not building up
voltage of a self excited shunt generator:
·
No residual magnetism: The
start of the build up process requires some residual magnetism in the magnetic
circuit of a generator. If there is little or no residual magnetism, because of
inactivity or jarring in shipment, no voltage will be generated that can
produce field current.
·
Field connection reversed: The
voltage generated due to residual magnetism is applied to the field and current
flows in such a direction as to produce lines of flux in the same direction as
the residual flux. If the field connections are reversed, the lines of flux
produced by the current flow will oppose the residual flux so that the
generated voltage will decrease rather than increase.
·
Field circuit resistance
too high: If the field circuit resistance is greater than
the critical resistance then this prevents voltage build up.
·
Open field circuit
connection: The effects of an open circuit are apparent. The
field-circuit resistance is much greater than the critical value, hence the
generator will not build up.
