STND-412: Generators
Description: This module describes the operating characteristics of AC generators and includes terminology, code requirements, methods of voltage production, and methods of paralleling AC generation sources. It contains the following topics: AC Generator Components (Field, Armature, Prime Mover, Rotor, Stator, and Slip Rings), AC Generator Theory (Theory of Operation, Losses in an AC Generator, Hysteresis Losses, Mechanical Losses, and Efficiency), and AC Generator Operation (Ratings, Paralleling AC Generators, Types of AC Generators, Three-Phase AC Generators, and AC Generator Connections).
