2. Standby generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_generator

   A standby generator is a back-up electrical system that operates automatically. [1] Within seconds of a utility outage an automatic transfer switch senses the power loss, commands the generator to start and then transfers the electrical load to the generator. The standby generator begins supplying power to the circuits. [2]

3. Induction generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

   An induction generator produces electrical power when its rotor is turned faster than the synchronous speed. For a four-pole motor (two pairs of poles on stator) powered by a 60 Hz source, the synchronous speed is 1800 rotations per minute (rpm) and 1500 RPM powered at 50 Hz. The motor always turns slightly slower than the synchronous speed.

4. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

   Diesel generator on an oil tanker. The packaged combination of a diesel engine, a generator, and various auxiliary devices (such as a base, canopy, sound attenuation, control systems, circuit breakers, jacket water heaters, and starting system) is referred to as a "generating set" or a "Genset" in short. Set sizes range from 8 to 30-kW (also 8 ...

5. Nameplate capacity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nameplate_capacity

   Nameplate capacity, also known as the rated capacity, nominal capacity, installed capacity, maximum effect or Gross Capacity, [1] is the intended full-load sustained output of a facility such as a power station, [2] [3] electric generator, a chemical plant, [4] fuel plant, mine, [5] metal refinery, [6] and many others.

6. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   A split-phase or single-phase three-wire system is a type of single-phase electric power distribution. It is the alternating current (AC) equivalent of the original Edison Machine Works three-wire direct-current system. Its primary advantage is that, for a given capacity of a distribution system, it saves conductor material over a single-ended ...

7. Droop speed control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droop_speed_control

   Droop speed control. Droop speed control is a control mode used for AC electrical power generators, whereby the power output of a generator reduces as the line frequency increases. It is commonly used as the speed control mode of the governor of a prime mover driving a synchronous generator connected to an electrical grid.
