  2. Rotary converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_converter

    Wiring schematic for a simplified bipolar-field Gramme-ring single-phase–to–direct-current rotary converter. (In actual use, the converter is drum-wound and uses a multipolar field.) [2] Wiring schematic for a simplified two-phase–to–direct-current rotary converter, with the second phase connected at right angles to the first [3] Wiring schematic for a simplified three-phase–to ...

  3. Synchronization (alternating current) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization...

    The generator is brought up to approximate synchronous speed by supplying more energy to its shaft - for example, opening the valves on a steam turbine, opening the gates on a hydraulic turbine, or increasing the fuel rack setting on a diesel engine. The field of the generator is energized and the voltage at the terminals of the generator is ...

  4. Dynamo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo

    "Dynamo Electric Machine" (end view, partly section, U.S. patent 284,110) A dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator.Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current ...

  5. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    An engine-generator is the combination of an electrical generator and an engine (prime mover) mounted together to form a single piece of self-contained equipment. The engines used are usually piston engines, but gas turbines can also be used, and there are even hybrid diesel-gas units, called dual-fuel units.

  6. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

    In electrical engineering, power conversion is the process of converting electric energy from one form to another. A power converter is an electrical device for converting electrical energy between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). It can also change the voltage or frequency of the current.

  7. Ford F-Series (sixth generation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_F-Series_(sixth...

    The F-250 4x4 was marketed in both single-cab and crew cab configurations (the latter, one of the rarest versions of the sixth-generation F-series [17]). Offered in the Custom, Ranger, and Ranger XLT trims only with a long bed, the configuration was not offered with the SuperCab body, auxiliary fuel tanks, and the Camper Special option package.

  8. Alternator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator

    The DC generator generates a small amount of electricity, just enough to excite the field coils of the connected alternator to generate electricity. A variation of this system is a type of alternator that uses direct current from a battery for initial excitation upon start-up, after which the alternator becomes self-excited.

  9. Induction generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

    As an example, consider the use of a 10 hp, 1760 r/min, 440 V, three-phase induction motor (a.k.a. induction electrical machine in an asynchronous generator regime) as asynchronous generator. The full-load current of the motor is 10 A and the full-load power factor is 0.8.
