Components of galvanic Generators

An electric generator is a engine used to produce electricity. The motor is commonly responsible of converting mechanical power to electrical power in order to generate such electricity.

An electric generator has two main components for its mechanical side, the rotor and the stator. The rotor is the rotating component of the electric generator while the stator is the stationary component. For the electrical mechanism of the machine, there are also two major components, the field and the armature. The field is the magnetic field parts of the machine.

ELECTRIC

Permanent magnets or electromagnets that are attached to the stator or motor of the engine are the responsible of producing the magnetic field. The armature is the component of the engine that produces electricity. The armature can be settled on either the stator or rotor. Electric current is produced by the armature windings.

The engine has a field winding that supports the armature in order to generate more power, since less power is transferred by armature into the circuit. Slip rings are also used to produce a small amount of current.

Field coils in an electric generator want current in order for the gismo to work out. Huge power hub generators uses separate smaller generator electrify the field coils of the larger generator. Black start is needed to electrify the field coils for the rehabilitation of the power in case of power outage.

Dynamo was considered as the first electrical generator that produces power for large industry and was developed by Hippolyte Pixxi in 1832. The commutator is used to change mechanical power into a direct current by using the electromagnetic principle.

Before, huge power dynamos were the only power generators used but due to the discovery of alternating current for the distribution and conversion of power, dynamos are no longer used.
