Which of the methods listed is used to maintain equal load sharing between two compound wound DC generators operating in parallel?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — The series fields of both generators are connected in parallel.
Compound-wound generators operating in parallel utilize an equalizer bus connecting the armatures and series fields. This establishes a parallel path for series field currents, preventing circulating currents and ensuring equal load sharing and stability as system demands change.
