DC generator:Load characteristics give the relation between the TERMINAL voltage and load current at a CONSTANT speed.SHUNT generator → the terminal voltage is reduced drastically with INCREASING in load current.Flat compound generator → the terminal voltage at the full load is equal to the no-load terminal voltage.Overcompound generator → the full load terminal voltage is higher than the no-load terminal voltage.Differential compound generator → the terminal voltage drops very quickly with the increasing armature current. According to the graph, we can conclude thatDc generator Shunt generatorpIIIFlat compoundqIIOver compoundrIDifferential generatorsIV
