  2. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    In electricity generation, a generator[1] is a device that converts motion-based power (potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power (chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines and even ...

  3. Alternator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator

    Alternator. Alternators made in 1909 by Ganz Works in the power generating hall of a Russian hydroelectric station (photograph by Prokudin-Gorsky, 1911). [1] An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current. [2] For reasons of cost and simplicity, most alternators ...

  4. Armature (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_(electrical)

    Armature (electrical) A DC armature of a miniature motor (or generator) A partially-constructed DC armature, showing the (incomplete) windings. In electrical engineering, the armature is the winding (or set of windings) of an electric machine which carries alternating current. [1] The armature windings conduct AC even on DC machines, due to the ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Commutator (electric) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutator_(electric)

    Parts: (A) commutator, (B) brush, (C) rotor windings, (D) stator (field) windings, (E) brush guides, (F) electrical connections. A commutator is a rotary electrical switch in certain types of electric motors and electrical generators that periodically reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit.

  7. DC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_motor

    The DC motor was the mainstay of electric traction drives on both electric and diesel-electric locomotives, street-cars/trams and diesel electric drilling rigs for many years. The introduction of DC motors and an electrical grid system to run machinery starting in the 1870s started a new second Industrial Revolution.

  8. Stator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stator

    Stator of a brushless DC motor from computer cooler fan. The stator is the stationary part of a rotary system, [1] found in electric generators, electric motors, sirens, mud motors, or biological rotors (such as bacterial flagella or ATP synthase). Energy flows through a stator to or from the rotating component of the system, the rotor.

  9. Electric power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_system

    An electric power system is a network of electrical components deployed to supply, transfer, and use electric power. An example of a power system is the electrical grid that provides power to homes and industries within an extended area. The electrical grid can be broadly divided into the generators that supply the power, the transmission ...
