AC Generator Basics
A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. AC generators are commonly used to provide electrical energy for a wide range of commercial, domestic, and industrial applications. AC generators vary considerably in size, from small ones like automobile generators, to large generators that can supply power needs for a large city. The purpose of this training course is to focus on AC generators that are primarily used to supply electrical power in the magnitude of kilowatts (thousands of watts) and megawatts (millions of watts).
