  2. Open-circuit saturation curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-circuit_saturation_curve

    The curve is obtained by rotating the generator at the rated RPM with the output terminals disconnected and the output voltage typically going to at least 120% of the rated for the device. The hydraulic units sometimes have to be tested at lower RPM with the resulting voltage scaled up to accommodate the differences in frequency.

  3. Exploded-view drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploded-view_drawing

    An exploded-view drawing is a diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. [ 1 ] It shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three- dimensional exploded diagram.

  4. 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.

  5. Voltage regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulator

    Early automobile generators and alternators had a mechanical voltage regulator using one, two, or three relays and various resistors to stabilize the generator's output at slightly more than 6.7 or 13.4 V to maintain the battery as independently of the engine's rpm or the varying load on the vehicle's electrical system as possible.

  6. Synchronization (alternating current) - Wikipedia

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

    The sequence of events is similar for manual or automatic 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 ...

  7. Constant speed drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_Speed_Drive

    Constant speed drive for Boeing 727, made by Sundstrand Corporation. A constant speed drive (CSD) also known as a constant speed generator, is a type of transmission that takes an input shaft rotating at a wide range of speeds, delivering this power to an output shaft that rotates at a constant speed, despite the varying input.

  8. Single-phase generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-phase_generator

    Single-phase generator (also known as single-phase alternator) is an alternating current electrical generator that produces a single, continuously alternating voltage. Single-phase generators can be used to generate power in single-phase electric power systems.

  9. Linear alternator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_alternator

    A linear alternator is essentially a linear motor used as an electrical generator. An alternator is a type of alternating current (AC) electrical generator. The devices are often physically equivalent. The principal difference is in how they are used and which direction the energy flows.
