2. Single-phase generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-phase_generator

   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.

3. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   Portable transformers that transform single-phase 240 V to this 110 V split-phase system are a common piece of construction equipment. Generator sets used for construction sites are equipped to supply it directly. However, a large farm may be given a 230–0–230 (nominal) supply.

4. Synchronization (alternating current) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization...

   During installation of a generator, careful checks are made to ensure the generator terminals and all control wiring is correct so that the order of phases (phase sequence) matches the system. Connecting a generator with the wrong phase sequence will result in large, possibly damaging, currents as the system voltages are opposite to those of ...

5. Rotary converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_converter

   The self-balancing dynamo is of similar construction to the single- and two-phase rotary converter. It was commonly used to create a completely balanced three-wire 120/240-volt AC electrical supply. The AC extracted from the slip rings was fed into a transformer with a single center-tapped winding. The center-tapped winding forms the DC neutral ...

6. Single-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-phase_electric_power

   Single-phase motors may have taps to allow their use on either 208-volt or 240-volt supply. A single-phase load may be powered directly from a three-phase distribution transformer in two ways: by connection between one phase and neutral or by connection between two phases. These two give different voltages from a given supply.

   English: Diagram of revolving-field single phase generator with four poles. As the rotor turns, the lines of force at fours poles are cut by the coils inducing current. The output from four coils are "in phase". The direction of current changes to the opposite side every 90 degrees of the rotation.

9. Mains electricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity

   All these parameters vary among regions. The voltages are generally in the range 100–240 V (always expressed as root-mean-square voltage). The two commonly used frequencies are 50 Hz and 60 Hz. Single-phase or three-phase power is most commonly used today, although two-phase systems were used early in the 20th century. Foreign enclaves, such ...
