| As shown in the illustration, what is the purpose of the second set of primary windings (PRI.2) of the static excitation transformer of the compounded self-excited alternator? |
| A) produce the alternator field excitation current associated with no-load operation |
| B) smooth out transient voltage spikes and dips associated with sudden load changes |
| C) produce additional excitation current beyond the no-load current inversely proportional to the actual load current |
| D) produce additional excitation current beyond the no-load current proportional to the actual load current |
