    • There are three types of dynamo-electric machines: self-excited dynamos, shunt dynamos, and separately-excited dynamos.
    • Separately-excited dynamos have their field winding excited from an external source of DC supply.
    • The magnitude of the generated voltage of separately-excited generators is regulated by changing the field current or the speed of armature rotation.
    • The distinction between magnetoelectric machines and dynamo-electric machines fails when examined carefully, as both use magnets to provide a field of magnetic force.
    • Graphical methods, such as the "characteristic" curve, can be used to represent the action of a dynamo.
    • A generator is an electromechanical energy conversion device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
    • A DC generator converts rotational mechanical energy into electrical energy in the form of DC.
