What type of winding is associated with a type B regulator?

A type B regulator is associated with a shunt winding. This is because shunt windings are designed to maintain a constant output voltage by connecting in parallel with the load. In the context of a regulator, the shunt winding adjusts the amount of current that flows to the load based on the voltage level, helping to stabilize it. The shunt winding's ability to provide precise regulation makes it ideal for voltage control in various applications.

In contrast, a series winding is typically used to increase the current in a circuit rather than stabilize voltage; it influences the voltage drop based on the load current and doesn’t provide the same level of regulation as a shunt winding. The primary and secondary winding refer to the configurations in transformers and are not specific to voltage regulation like shunt windings are. Understanding these functions clarifies why the shunt winding is the correct association for a type B regulator.
