Generator separately excited by battery Self exciting generators Series on left, shunt on right. A shunt generator is a type of 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 for the excitation (generator is therefore self excited).
The smaller generator can be either a magneto with permanent field magnets or another self-excited generator. A field coil may be connected in shunt, in series, or in compound with the armature of a DC machine (motor or generator). For a machine using field coils, as is the case in most large generators, the field must be established by a ...
Bipolar generators were universal prior to 1890 but in the years following it was replaced by the multipolar field magnets. Bipolar generators were then only made in very small sizes. [1] The stepping stone between these two major types was the consequent-pole bipolar generator, with two field coils arranged in a ring around the stator.

A shunt is a device that is designed to provide a low-resistance path for an electrical current in a circuit. It is typically used to divert current away from a system or component in order to prevent overcurrent .
Diagram of D'Arsonval/Weston type galvanometer. As the current flows from + terminal of the coil to − terminal, a magnetic field is generated in the coil.This field is counteracted by the permanent magnet and forces the coil to twist, moving the pointer, in relation to the field's strength caused by the flow of current.
