2. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   Most power stations contain one or more generators, or spinning machines converting mechanical power into three-phase electrical power. The relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor creates an electric current. The energy source harnessed to turn the generator varies widely.

3. Single-phase generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-phase_generator

   Elementary generator is an example of single-phase generators with two poles. Single-phase generator (also known as single-phase alternator) is an alternating current electrical generator that produces a single, continuously alternating voltage. Single-phase generators can be used to generate power in single-phase electric power systems.

4. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

   Three-phase transformer with four-wire output for 208Y/120 volt service: one wire for neutral, others for A, B and C phases. Three-phase electric power (abbreviated 3ϕ [1]) is a common type of alternating current (AC) used in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. [2]

5. Doubly fed electric machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_fed_electric_machine

   The doubly fed generator rotors are typically wound with 2 to 3 times the number of turns of the stator. This means that the rotor voltages will be higher and currents respectively lower. Thus in the typical ±30% operational speed range around the synchronous speed, the rated current of the converter is accordingly lower which leads to a lower ...

   Generators have varying power outputs, which are measured in watts, so you want to find a generator that can support your typical daily power consumption, says Cristina Miguelez, a remodeling ...

7. Dynamo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo

   "Dynamo Electric Machine" (end view, partly section, U.S. patent 284,110) A dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator.Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current ...
