Function
- The function of the Booster is to compensate voltage drop in the feeder.
- The booster is basically a DC series generator whose function is to inject certain voltage to feeder in order to compensate voltage drop in it.
- The DC series generator is mechanically coupled with DC shunt motor as shown in the figure.
- The DC shunt motor draws current from the supply mains and drives DC series generator at constant speed.
- As the voltage drop in the feeder is proportional to load current, the booster is connected in series with the feeder.
- The booster injected voltage must be proportional to load current.
- The booster is a low voltage, high current generator working over linear portion of the voltage – current characteristics.
Important Note
- The voltage drop in the feeder is compensated by compound wound generator but the voltage drop of the feeder of different length is compensated by Booster.
