🔍 Key Concepts

• Compound-wound DC generators have both shunt and series field windings • When operating in parallel, generators must share load without one machine overloading • An equalizing connection specifically affects how the series fields interact between machines

💭 Think About

• Think about what could happen to load sharing if the series field currents in the two generators were not properly related when in parallel • Which choice directly concerns the relationship between the series fields of both generators, rather than changing polarity or power factor? • Ask yourself: does a DC generator even have a power factor to correct, and what does that suggest about one of the options?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what an equalizer bus (equalizing connection) is used for in DC compound generator installations • Check which answer choice involves placing the series field windings of both generators in a specific relationship so that load is shared correctly • Eliminate any options that deal with AC concepts (like power factor) or unnecessary polarity reversal during normal paralleling
