Show Answer

Answer: D

Share your understanding of this question with the correct explanation.

For a level compounded dc generator to run at a constant voltage, the series field mmf must effectively compensate for:

  1. Armature reaction mmf.
  2. Armature resistance drop.
  3. Brush contact voltage drop.

Therefore, all the statements are correct, and the correct answer is:

D. 1, 2, and 3.
