Hydro Generator- Part 1


GENERATOR BASICS

Generator Structure
  • Generator is a machine which converts Mechanical energy into Electrical energy
  • Magnetic Induction Principle
  • An emf is induced in a coil whenever
      • a coil cuts through a magnetic field
      • a magnetic field cuts through a coil
  • emf induction is due to relative motion between two parts ( coil & magnetic field)
  • Relative motion is by Rotation
  • Two mechanical parts :
      • Field - Part which produces magnetism (Rotor)
      • Armature – part where emf is induced (Stator)


Generator components
  • Prime Mover
  • Rotor (Exciter)
  • Stator
