ENGINE, MAIN GENERATOR ARMATURE AND FRAME AND DC EXCITER

EXCITATION (FLASHING)

The main generator armature and the exciter arma- ture are mechanically coupled to the engine. When the engine is started and running, the residual mag- netism that is stored in the exciter pole pieces is induced upon the exciter armature. This causes the exciter to "build-up" and produce a DC output volt- age. This DC voltage is applied, via the field rheostat control, to the main generator shunt field coils. The exciter output is also connected to the 115VDC recep- tacle.

MAIN SHUNT, INTERPOLE AND SERIES COILS

The generator armature rotates within the magnetic field created by the shunt field windings. A DC voltage is induced in the armature and is transferred, through the armature commutator and brushes, to the series and interpole coils. The interpole coils, which are con- nected in series with the positive output terminal, are located so as to counteract any magnetic influences that could cause mechanical distortion in the rotating armature. The series coils are designed to oppose or "buck" the DC voltage that is generated in the arma- ture.
