Inside the generators junction box there will be termination points that the generator coils terminate on. On the inside of the lid of the junction box there should be a diagram for different connections allowed for that generator. By moving jumpers around across these terminals a variety of voltages can be obtained.

∙ 11y agoYou should not have to, that is the job of the voltage regulator. If your generator's output voltage is unstable then have some one check the regulators terminal board for loose or disconnected wiring. If nothing can be found in the wiring to the regulator then you might be looking at having to purchase a new one.

How do you convert a three phase power supply into single phase power supply?
You can take three separate single-phase circuits from a 3-ph generator. Just use one of the live wires plus the neutral to make a single-phase supply. <<>> A three phase generator does not have to be converted to single phase. In electrical terminology any two legs from a three phase system are classed as single phase. No matter what voltage the generator is producing, L1 - L2, L2 - L3, L3 - L1 are classed as single phase legs along with L1 - N, L2 - N, L3 - N. If the generator output voltage is not the voltage that you are looking for use any two legs of the generators output voltage and use a transformer to obtain the voltage that you need.
What does a step up and a step down transformer do?
It raises the voltage of the output of the main generator to the level of the grid transmission lines. The actual values depend on the design of the plant and grid system. In the UK the generator output would typically be about 23 kV and the grid line at 400 kV. Very high voltages make transmission of power more economical because the current is correspondingly reduced.
What is a regulated variable direct current?
Voltage regulators that are adjustable are common, for example the LM338, which can pass up to 5 amps with a suitable heat sink, and the output voltage is set by two external resistors connected to the regulator. A variable resistor can be used to make the output voltage directly adjustable.
What does an generator do?
The main generator(s) are coupled mechanically to the steam turbines that take the steam output from the nuclear island, one generator per turbine so it is a close coupled combined unit. The generator produces AC electricity (60 Hz in North America, 50 Hz in Europe and most of the rest of the world) at an intermediate voltage level. The actual value will depend on the manufacturer but is usually in the range 10 to 20 KV (kilovolts). Some of this output will be fed back to power plant like the boiler feed pumps and the gas circulators in a gas cooled reactor, the bulk of it will be fed to a transformer which steps it up to the main transmission line voltage, 400 KV in the UK, and hence out to the distribution system.
Your volt meter shows your generator is producing 145 volts will it damage your electrical equipment?
Yes it coudl damage equipment. Check voltage rating on equipment. However, there should be an adjustment somewhere on the generator to set the voltage properly. Also make sure your meter is calibrated. Check a known voltage source such as an outlet and compare readings.
Why is it that a 2000 watt Honda EU generator not power a 1140 watt high pressure sodium fixture?
The first thing that comes to mind is check the voltage of the HPS ballast. Some ballasts have multi taps so that a variety of voltages can be used to operate the fixture. Make sure that you have connected the generator's supply to the 120 volt tap. Make sure that the generator's breaker is on and that there is the correct voltage at the output. If is is a dual voltage generator make sure that you are plugged into the correct voltage output.
Does a voltage regulater make the car run?
No. It controls the output of the alternator.
Is a potentiometer and voltage regulator the same thing?
No. A potentiometer is a variable resistor that allows you to set a voltage ratio or to adjust a resistance in a circuit. A voltage regulator, on the other hand, is a device that responds to changes in load, making automatic correction of output voltage. If you increase the load on a potentiometer, the output voltage will change, but not so (within limits) for a voltage regulator. However, you can use a potentiometer in a voltage regulator to make the output adjustable.

Why common emitter configuration is mostly used for transistor as switch?
because in ce configuration value of input voltage requried to make the transistor on is very less value of the output voltage or output current

What is the most electricity you can make with a magnet coil?
A coil doesn't make electricity it can however alter voltage and amperage output.
Do power plants make their own power?
Yes, in a power plant a proportion of the generator output is fed back into the plant to run auxiliaries, before the bulk output is transformed up to the high voltage of the main transmission lines. In a nuclear plant some backup power is essential in the event of losing the connection to the outside completely, and this is provided by diesels with their own generators.

What are the disadvantages of half wave recrifier?
A half wave rectifier does not make a stable voltage. A single phase half wave creates a "bumpy road" where voltage modulates between sine wave maximum and zero. A three phase half wave will create a more stable, but ultimately "unclean", voltage.
How do you increase output voltage of a alternator?
The voltage output is controlled by the voltage regulator. Check to see if you are getting a DC field voltage. On the voltage regulator there are terminals to different pieces of equipment on the machine. Look for the terminals that are designated F1 and F2. These should have a DC voltage on them. Also look for a potentiometer that controls the field voltage. Turn it one way and the voltage will go down and turned the other way the voltage will go up. Make sure that this potentiometer is in the correct position to allow voltage to the field coils.
