It serves to reduce the combined effect of armature reaction of both the machines.<\/p>\n<p>Armature reaction is the magnetic field produced by the current flowing through the armature windings of a DC generator. This field opposes the main field of the generator, which can cause a decrease in the generated voltage.

This reduces the magnetic field produced by the armature current, which in turn reduces the effect of armature reaction.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the equalizer bar helps to ensure that the two generators will pass approximately equal currents to the load. This is important because it ensures that the generators will share the load equally and that neither generator will be overloaded.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect.<\/p>\n<p>Option A is incorrect because the equalizer bar does not increase the series flux. The series flux is the magnetic field produced by the current flowing through the field windings of the generator. The equalizer bar does not affect the field windings, so it does not affect the series flux.<\/p>\n<p>Option B is incorrect because the equalizer bar does not increase the generated e.m.f. The generated e.m.f. is the voltage produced by the generator. The equalizer bar does not affect the magnetic field produced by the main field, so it does not affect the generated e.m.f.<\/p>\n<p>Option C is incorrect because the equalizer bar does not reduce the combined effect of armature reaction of both the machines. The equalizer bar actually helps to reduce the effect of armature reaction by providing a path for the armature current to flow that is parallel to the main field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Our Telegram Channel Subscribe on YouTube<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[742],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>When two D.C. generators are running in parallel an equalizer bar is used<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/when-two-d-c-generators-are-running-in-parallel-an-equalizer-bar-is-used\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"When two D.C. generators are running in parallel an equalizer bar is used\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Join Our Telegram Channel Subscribe on YouTube\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/when-two-d-c-generators-are-running-in-parallel-an-equalizer-bar-is-used\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"MCQ and Quiz for Exams\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-04-16T00:48:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"rawan239\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"rawan239\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"When two D.C. generators are running in parallel an equalizer bar is used","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/when-two-d-c-generators-are-running-in-parallel-an-equalizer-bar-is-used\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"When two D.C. generators are running in parallel an equalizer bar is used","og_description":"Join Our Telegram Channel Subscribe on YouTube","og_url":"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/when-two-d-c-generators-are-running-in-parallel-an-equalizer-bar-is-used\/","og_site_name":"MCQ and Quiz for Exams","article_published_time":"2024-04-16T00:48:24+00:00","author":"rawan239","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"rawan239","Est. reading time":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/when-two-d-c-generators-are-running-in-parallel-an-equalizer-bar-is-used\/","url":"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/when-two-d-c-generators-are-running-in-parallel-an-equalizer-bar-is-used\/","name":"When two D.C. generators are running in parallel an equalizer bar is used","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/#website"},"datePublished":"2024-04-16T00:48:24+00:00","dateModified":"2024-04-16T00:48:24+00:00","author":{"@id":"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/#\/schema\/person\/5807dafeb27d2ec82344d6cbd6c3d209"},"breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/when-two-d-c-generators-are-running-in-parallel-an-equalizer-bar-is-used\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/when-two-d-c-generators-are-running-in-parallel-an-equalizer-bar-is-used\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/when-two-d-c-generators-are-running-in-parallel-an-equalizer-bar-is-used\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"mcq","item":"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/category\/mcq\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Electrical engineering","item":"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/category\/mcq\/electrical-engineering\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"D.c.
