Electric energy is one of the main energy sources in modern society. A generator is a mechanical device that converts other forms of energy into electrical energy. It is driven by water turbines, steam turbines, diesel engines, or other power machinery, and converts the energy from water flow, air flow, fuel combustion, or atomic nucleus fission into mechanical energy and transmits it to the generator. Then, the generator converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy. Generators have wide applications in industrial and agricultural production, national defense, science and technology, and daily life.
There are many types of generators, but their working principles are based on the laws of electromagnetic induction and electromagnetic force. Therefore, the general principle of their construction is: using appropriate magnetic and conductive materials to form magnetic circuits and circuits that conduct electromagnetic induction with each other to generate electromagnetic power and achieve the purpose of energy conversion.
The classification of generators can be summarized as follows:
Generator { DC Generator, AC Generator { Synchronous Generator, Asynchronous Generator (rarely used)
AC generators can also be divided into single-phase generators and three-phase generators.
