Basic Generator

Electron and Electricity

1. Atom has three types particles:
- Proton (Positively Charged)
- Electron (negatively charged)
- Neutron (has no charge)
2. Electric Current is the movement or flow of the electron. Electric
current can only flow as long as there is a voltage (potential
difference between the positive and negative charges).
3. One of the methods to produce voltage is by magnetism or
magnetic induction that is going to happen in GENERATOR.

Two Types of AC Generators

Revolving armature
rotor is an armature which is rotating inside a stationary
electromagnetic field
seldom used since output power must be transmitted
through slip-rings and brushes

Revolving field
dc current is supplied to the rotor which makes a
rotating electromagnetic field inside the stator
more practical since the current required to supply a
field is much smaller than the output current of the
armature

There are three requirement to generate electric :
1. Magnetic field
2. Conductor
3. Relative motion between them

Generator Parts

Prime mover: mechanical work which turns the rotor, may

be a steam turbine, gas turbine, diesel engine...
Armature windings: the conductor in which the output
voltage is induced
Field windings: the conductors used to produce the
electromagnetic field (needs a DC power supply)
Stator: stationary housing of the generator
Rotor: rotates inside the stator, moved by a prime mover
(steam turbine, gas turbine, diesel)
Sliding contacts (slip-rings and brushes): used to conduct
the field or armature current to and from the rotor
