Here are the key points from this section:
- 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.
