Correct Answer - Option 3 : Increases by 33.33%

In a differentially compound DC generator,

Flux due to shunt field ϕrh = 80% of ϕ

Flux due to series field ϕre = 20% of ϕ

Since all the resistances are ignored, the voltage drop is zero.

⇒ Vt = Eg

As, Vt = Eg - IaRa

Vt = terminal voltage

Eg = generated voltage

The generated voltage is,

\({{E}_{g}}=\frac{Nϕ ZP}{60A}\)

⇒ Eg ∝ ϕ

⇒ Vt ∝ ϕ ⇒ Vt ∝ (ϕrh – ϕre)

\(⇒ {{V}_{{{t}_{old}}}}\propto 0.8ϕ -0.2ϕ ⇒ {{V}_{{{t}_{old}}}}\propto 0.6ϕ \)

Now, the series field is suddenly short-circuited

⇒ ϕre = 0

\(⇒ {{V}_{{{t}_{new}}}}\propto ϕ ⇒ {{V}_{{{t}_{new}}}}\propto \left( {{ϕ }_{rh}}-{{ϕ }_{re}} \right)\)

\(⇒ {{V}_{{{t}_{new}}}}\propto 0.8ϕ \)

Percentage change in terminal voltage = 100 ×  (Vtnew - Vtold) / Vtold

⇒ % change in Vt = 100 × (0.8 ϕ - 0.6 ϕ) / 0.6 ϕ 

⇒ % change in Vt = 100 × 1 / 3 = 33.33%

∴ Terminal voltage increases by 33.33%
