If series winding turns are so adjusted that with the rise in load current, the terminal voltage considerably rests constant, it is known as flat-compounded generator.... If series field coil has lesser number of turns than for a flat-compound generator, the source voltage falls with increase in load current... Such a machine is termed under-compounded generator. 2, record 2, English, - undercompounded%20generator
