An AC or alternating current generator is a piece of machinery that produces AC electricity. Most commonly this machine is powered by steam.in simple terms it consists of a series of blades that are turned by steam.a magnetic field is excited on the rotor which then cuts through lines of magnetism that are present on the stator by the power grid. As more power is applied to the rotor, the turbine must spin harder,not faster, to push more power onto the grid. RPM of rotor is determined by the number of poles in the stator. Most commonly a turbine will spin at 3600rpm.... or, 60 times per second giving us the USA electrical grid a 60Hz frequency. This is scratching the paint on AC generation but its a start.
A 115 generator typically refers to a type of electrical generator that produces 115 volts of alternating current (AC) power. It is often used in various applications, including powering tools, lighting, and small appliances, particularly in outdoor or emergency situations. These generators can be portable or stationary and are designed to provide reliable electricity where grid power is unavailable. The term may also refer to specific models or brands, so context is important for precise identification.
simply put a motor consumes power and a generator produces it. reactance of a generator = - reactance of a motor
what are real life design considerations that would apply to a wind generator
If line BE is the bisector of segment AC, it means that BE divides AC into two equal segments. Therefore, if AB is 7, then AC must be twice that length, making AC equal to 14.
Generators typically run at 3600 RPM to produce alternating current (AC) at a frequency of 60 Hz, which is standard in North America. This speed is derived from the formula for synchronous speed, where the number of poles in the generator affects the RPM; for a 2-pole generator, 3600 RPM corresponds to 60 Hz (60 cycles per second). Operating at this speed ensures efficient energy conversion and stable output frequency, which is crucial for electrical systems.
what is the construction of ac generator
An ac generator produces ac, a dc generator produces dc, it all depends on the generator.
Alternator and ac generator is equal
NO, generator always generating AC current,when commutator is used,at that time AC is converted in DC.and due to this generator is called dc generator.
DC generator
You step down voltage from an AC generator with a transformer.You step down frequency from an AC generator with a motor/generator set, or with an inverter. This is not a common thing to do.
an induction generator
It can be, however AC power is generally produced directly by an AC alternator/generator.
please how can i diagnose faults on an AC generator power circuits?
