2. Standby generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_generator

   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. Electrostatic generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_generator

   12" Quadruple Sector-less Wimshurst Machine (Bonetti Machine) An electrostatic generator, or electrostatic machine, is an electrical generator that produces static electricity, or electricity at high voltage and low continuous current. The knowledge of static electricity dates back to the earliest civilizations, but for millennia it remained ...

5. Load factor (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_factor_(electrical)

   In electrical engineering the load factor is defined as the average load divided by the peak load in a specified time period. [1] It is a measure of the utilization rate, or efficiency of electrical energy usage; a high load factor indicates that load is using the electric system more efficiently, whereas consumers or generators that underutilize the electric distribution will have a low load ...

6. Homopolar generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homopolar_generator

   Homopolar generator. Faraday disk, the first homopolar generator. A homopolar generator is a DC electrical generator comprising an electrically conductive disc or cylinder rotating in a plane perpendicular to a uniform static magnetic field. A potential difference is created between the center of the disc and the rim (or ends of the cylinder ...

7. 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 ...
