TURBO GENERATORS
Small turbo-generators will be on steam locomotives for electricity generation. This is then generated electricity for the lighting of the locomotives.
INDUSTRIAL POWER
There are also larger generators, the big man called technical generators. These are now in power plants, in which generators for the power industry.
Furthermore, in such large power plants and electricity for the railway generated. Track power plants are mostly as hydropower plants, nuclear power plants and conventional thermal power plants. The turbines at the power generation are involved, mostly custom. The generators produced in these alternating current (with reduced frequency) is significantly larger than that for the ordinary public electricity grid.
Turbo generators, in such power plants used to work mostly with high speed. In terms this means for example:
In networks with 50 Hz, it is 3000 min-1,
In networks with 60 Hz, it min-1 3600.
TURBO COMBINATION
The Turbo record in the power plant technology is the combination of rotating machinery. These are the actual power generation. A Turbo sentence is often a turbine and a generator. The waves are usually about a clutch. Used to be, inter alia, for example In steam power plants.
