  2. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    In electricity generation, a generator [1] is a device that converts motion-based power ( potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power ( chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines and even ...

  3. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

    A diesel generator (DG) (also known as a diesel genset) is the combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator (often an alternator) to generate electrical energy. This is a specific case of engine generator. A diesel compression-ignition engine is usually designed to run on diesel fuel, but some types are adapted for other liquid ...

  4. Power rating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_rating

    Power rating. In electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, the power rating of equipment is the highest power input allowed to flow through particular equipment. According to the particular discipline, the term power may refer to electrical or mechanical power. A power rating can also involve average and maximum power, which may vary ...

  5. Capability curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_curve

    Active power is on the horizontal axis, reactive power is on the vertical axis. Capability curve of an electrical generator describes the limits of the active ( MW) and reactive power ( MVAr) that the generator can provide. The curve represents a boundary of all operating points in the MW/MVAr plane; it is typically drawn with the real power on ...

  6. Rating plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rating_plate

    Generators. A typical electrical generator rating plate contains the following parameters: power rating is specified in terms of apparent power (KVA or MVA), since the exact power factor will be determined by the external factors; power factor (PF) is the nominal power factor for other ratings; usually PF = 0.8;

  7. Engine-generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine-generator

    Standby power generating units often include an automatic starting system and a transfer switch to disconnect the load from the utility power source when there is a power failure and connect it to the generator. A Cummins Onan transfer switch Types. Engine–generators are available in a wide range of power ratings.
