ELECTRICAL GENERATOR
An electric generator is an electrical machine. It converts kinetic energy (or mechanical energy) into electrical energy. An electric generator is technically identical with an electric motor. Because the electric motor works, and vice versa converts electrical energy into kinetic energy.
The principle of all electrical generators is common: mechanical power is converted into electric power. The mechanical performance is the generator in the form of the rotating shaft of a mechanical process. Smaller, portable and on a table are adjustable to different purposes usable generators. For example in smaller rooms in case of blackout.
Those with a capacity of less than 300 MVA operated are usually cooled with air. This circulates the air in the cabinet, and by the stator coils. The fans are right on the rotor upset. The air is cooled with water coolers. Water coolers are located in the lower part of the generator housing.
Types of generators:
There are different types of generators. Some of these are listed below.
The generator was completed for the 1800 and discovered based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Generator comes from the leiteinischen and means PRODUCE.
