Learning Objectives

Name the basic parts of a generator and describe the function of each in inducing voltage.

Describe the primary difference between a single-phase generator and a three-phase generator.

Name two factors that determine the frequency of the current produced by a generator.

Explain why the frequency of a generator’s output must be controlled.

Explain the function of the exciter in a generator.

Name the parts of a direct current (DC) exciter and the parts of a brushless exciter and describe their functions.

Explain why a large generator is typically cooled with hydrogen instead of air.

Explain the function of an oil seal in a hydrogen-cooled generator.

Describe how hydrogen is supplied to a generator cooling system.

Explain the purpose of each of the following components in a hydrogen generator cooling system: purity analyzer, core monitor, hydrogen dryer, and liquid detector.

Explain how carbon dioxide and air are used to purge a generator cooling system.

Describe the flow of water in a typical stator cooling system.

Describe the function of each of the following components in a typical stator cooling system: temperature control valve, pressure control valve, and demineralizer.
