🔍 Key Concepts

• Residual magnetism and why an alternator needs it to start building voltage • How a brushless excitation system gets DC into the rotating field without slip rings • What "flashing the field" means in generator maintenance

💭 Think About

• Which of these actions actually introduces an external DC source into the field circuit so magnetism can be re‑established? • Do any of the options involving just running the machine (speed or direction) actually add new magnetism if there is none left to begin with? • In normal troubleshooting practice, what do technicians do when a generator will not build up voltage because of lost residual magnetism?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice directly applies DC from a separate source to the field circuit. • Eliminate options that only change speed or direction but do not provide an external excitation source. • Recall that "flashing the field" is a standard procedure described in generator maintenance manuals for restoring residual magnetism.
