Selecting a suitable generator for your application- Part 2

05/12/2014 by 3 Comments

Last time,on my post “Selecting a suitable generator for your application – PART 1”,I’m promised to continue discussion about selecting a suitable generator for your application.In this post, I explained details and shared some tips to get a suitable generator for your application.

What’s this THD?

For ensuring smooth and continuous running of generator it is important to measure its THD –total harmonic distortion. When a significant portion of the load on a generator (or any power source for that matter) is non-linear, all the loads fed by the source will see this distortion. read more

Ever tried to buy a generator? No? Then, you are saved a potential existential crisis, by God’s grace!! Ask someone who has tried to buy and actually landed with one.

And, he or she would tell you about the trials and tribulations involved in the process. It’s like trying to decode the proverbial riddle: horse before the cart or the cart before the horse!

Do you need a standby generator, single-phase, three-phase, kW, KVA, welder, or motor starting generators? Or, do you need a diesel run or a petrol run generator? read more

Generator exitation

03/09/2011 by 11 Comments

What is the excitation?The main purpose of excitation system for generator is to supply the power source to the rotor field coil.Excitation system produce the field current and it controlled by the automatic voltage regulator (AVR).I already discuss about automatic voltage regulator on my last post.

This field current controller is important to ensure the generator running in the suitable voltage.It also controlled the value of current when generator connected to a large load.It will receive or delivery the required level for reactive power ( kVAr). read more

Generator is the important power supply equipment to generated electricity.Without electricity,we cannot operated machinery,equipment,lighting,computer and others device for our living.

For general power supply,power distributor normally used the high capacity of generator to supply the electricity to the consumer.It different size for backup power supply that used for hospital,server room,critical equipment or important area.

I want share some information about types of generator and basic operation.Generators are generally classified in accordance with speed and construction.We can categories the generator with following types. read more
