Industrial Maintenance Exam 2026 – Mechanical Systems, Troubleshooting, and
Safety Study Guide
Know the operating characteristics of a Generator? - correct answer ✔✔ Uses the mechanical
energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its
winding through an external electric circuit.
Know the Characteristics of a Shunt Generator? - correct answer ✔✔ Electric generator in which
field winding and armature winding are connected in parallel, and in which the armature
supplies both the load current and the field current.
What describes a series field? - correct answer ✔✔ a winding in which the armature coil and
the field-magnet coil are in series with the external circuit
Describe a shunt field? - correct answer ✔✔ a winding in which the armature coil and the field-
magnet coil are in series with the external circuit
What is a a cumulative compound? - correct answer ✔✔ motor both series and shunt field exist
