OBSERVATION:

• As the number of loads increases the current also increases.

• The voltage flowing in each load decreases as the number of load
increases.
• The more the load resistance is added, the higher the current can be.
• It illustrates that if you input a value that used the same number of bulbs, it
will show you a constant measurement value for voltage and load current,
but if you change the number of bulbs, the values generated will change.
As a result, as the load current increases, the voltage decreases.
Conclusion:
• When the load resistance of a Shunt Type DC generator decreases, the
load current of the generator increases but, the load current can only be
increased to a certain limit with the decrease of load resistance.
• By adjusting the of the load terminal, the terminal voltage can always be
maintained at the same value.
• When the generator is loaded, then the generated voltage is decreased
due to armature reaction. After it reach a certain limit, because of the
heavy load current and increased ohmic drop, the terminal voltage drops
drastically that results to the drop in the load current even though at that
time, load is high or load resistance is low.

RECOMMENDATION:
• The load resistance of the machine must always be maintained at a certain
limit.
•
