• A generator spins a magnet inside a coiled wire to convert mechanical power into electrical power.
• Single-phase power comes from a generator with one main coil.
• Three-phase power comes from a generator with three coils.
• Synchronous generators produce both power and magnetizing current.
• Induction generators produce only power, and do not produce magnitizing current.

Ok, so now let's take a look at the Prime Mover.
