A compound generator has both series and shunt field windings. When those windings are connected so they aid each other in the production of magnetism, that connection is called _____.

A) cumulative-compound
B) differential-compound

Cumulative-compound

A term that could be misinterpreted outside a specific context; without additional information, it suggests a complex or combined effect or entity, possibly accumulating over time. NO

Shunt Field

A magnetic field created by a shunt winding in electrical machinery, used for regulation of the machinery's operation.

Series Field

A set of windings in a DC machine or certain types of AC machines connected in series with the armature circuit to create magnetic fields for electromechanical energy conversion.
