Why generator field rheostat is set to maximum position and
motor field rheostat is set to minimum?

Answer Posted / r.sridharan

In generator there is nothing to limit current.Hence winding will over heat and burn.In order to protect generator we kept at maximum position.
In motor to increase torque at initial condition rheostat is kept at minimum position.
