Feature Request- DC/AC generator #863

Open marmon1973 opened 1 year ago

marmon1973 commented 1 year ago

I have been testing various designs for voltage regulators that control a generator's field current. The generator would have 4 terminals, A1 and A2 to connect the armature (brushes), F1 and F2 connect to the field. reversing the field would invert output polarity. although I mention AC in the title its really only DC I'm interested in Here is a link to some information I found on the topic https://www.electricaleasy.com/2014/07/characteristics-of-dc-generators.html?utm_source=electricaleasy&utm_medium=RelatedPostsFooter&utm_campaign=RelatedPosts

The various methods of excitation ( Separate, shunt, series, compound, Ect.) may be wired up outside the generator. Values Could include, RPM, input speed (could be hooked to a slider) FR, static field resistance FI, field inductance AR, armature resistance AI, armature inductance (usually quite small) RM, residual magnetism EMF, generated power, per amp of field, per rpm

It's a fair bit of work I'm sure (I'm not a coder so idk), but I love the program and am amazed at how accurate it is.
