For the parallel operation of two or more D.C. compound generators, we should ensurethat
all the series fields should be run in parallel by means of equilizer connection
series fields of all generators should be either on positive side or negative side of thearmature(e) all conditions mentioned above should be satisfied
voltage of the incoming generator should be same as that of bus bar
polarity of incoming generator should be same as that of bus bar
In case of a flat compounded generator
voltage remains constant irrespec¬tive of the load
speed varies in proportion to the load on the generator
voltage generated is less than the rated voltage
generated voltage is proportional to the load on the generator
