What are the three main components of a generator?

Answer 1

Drive shaft,Strong magnet,Coil of wire

Answer 2

The three main components of a generator are the engine, alternator, and fuel system. The engine provides the mechanical energy to drive the alternator, which converts it into electrical energy. The fuel system supplies the necessary fuel to run the engine.

Answer 3

There is no such thing as an AC generator, if it's DC it's a generator, if it's AC, it's an alternator.

Comment

The above answer isn't correct, as 'generator' is a generic term applied to both d.c. and a.c. machines. It is perfectly correct to use the terms 'd.c. generator' or 'a.c. generator'. It is also correct to call an a.c. generator an 'alternator'.

To answer the question, an a.c. generator can be broken down into two main parts: the 'stator' (stationary part) and the 'rotor' (rotating part). The field winding is part of the rotor assembly, and the armature windings (the windings into which the generated voltages are induced) are part of the stator assembly.

Answer 4

The four basic parts of a generator are the magnetic field, conductor, brushes, and commutator. The magnetic field is a permanent or electromagnet. The conductor is between the two magnetic poles. The commutator connects the brushes to the conductor. The two brushes make contact with the ends of the conductor.

Answer 5

The rotor, the stator and the voltage regulator are three main components of a generator. If you are talking about a motor generator set then of course the other main component would be the engine to drive the generator.

Answer 6

The main parts of the generator are stator which produces the stationary magnetic field , armature and commutator.
