What is the common Field connection of a DC generator?:blink:
My question is about the common connection of the Field windings in actual application. Based on your experience which among the field windings connection is most prevalent? Is it Shunt? Is it Series? Is it Compounded?

Do car alternators even have slip rings any more? ...
