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). == Generator field connections == A shunt field (and any series resistor used for adjustment) may be directly connected across the armature terminals in parallel with the load.
