AC Generator Operation:

Since  of  the  nature  of  AC  voltage  and  current,  the  operation  of  an  AC generator needs that rules and procedures be followed.  Further, there are several types of AC generators available, every type having disadvantages and advantages.

 DESCRIBE  the  bases behind  the  current ratings and kW of an AC generator.

 DESCRIBE the conditions which must be met prior to paralleling two AC generators included consequences of not meeting these conditions.

 DESCRIBE the difference among a stationary field and rotating armature AC generator and a rotating field and stationary armature AC generator.

 EXPLAIN the differences among a wye-connected and delta-connected AC generator involving advantages and disadvantages of every type.
