What is the reason for the imbalance of line voltage of a generator?

It is hard to get a perfect mph/rpm on the motor of a generator, the amount of amps,watts,and volts are determined by the speed of the motor,
The motor is connected to a magnet that is in a ring of copper wire,
when the magnet is moved it causes a powerful static to be created,
this is were we get the electricity,
the faster it moves the more powerful the static.
Getting the magnet to move at the perfect speed is difficult and can depend on a lot of factors such as: fuel quality, amount of grease on the barrings, the speed of the flowing fuel, the age of the motor, etc...
The designers try to balance the voltage right, but each factor can vary and change the output,
But it does not hurt for a 120v machine to run anywhere from 100v to 140v, so it is nothing to worry about.

How many amps for 1010 KVA generator per phase?
To answer this question the voltage of the generator must be given.
What is voltage in rotor of 11 KV AC generator?
Star (or 'wye') connected alternators have a phase voltage of 6.35 kV, and a line voltage of 11 kV. Incidentally, it's 'kV', not 'KV'.
What is line interphase transformer?
interference line transformer display digit number in electerical device,such as generator it display amps rate&voltage etc.
How many amps for a 200 kva 3 phase generator working on 240 V per phase?
KVA means product of voltage and current. For 3 phase generator, its KVA = (1.732 X (Line Voltage) X Current)/1000.Put line voltage in this equation and get current.
Can the star point of a 400 volt three phase generator be grounded to produce 240 volts?
A 400/230-V three-phase generator hase three line terminals, together with a neutral terminal. The line voltage (i.e. the voltage between any pair of line terminals) is 400 V, while the phase voltage (i.e. the voltage between any line terminal and the neutral terminal) is 230 V.
What is line charging in transmission?
Transmission Line Charging To initially charge the transmission line, the generator voltage stably controlled from 30% of the rated voltage to 110% of the rated voltage by using AVR. The change-over switch (43CH) for initial transmission line charging is mounted on the operator's desk in the main control room.This Voltage Changes are required because of the Stray capacitance effect at the charging and boosts the Voltage at the other end and the inductance of the line drops the Voltage soon after charging
Would you compare generator current to line voltage to determine if your leading or lagging?
It's always the current that determines 'leading' or 'lagging' -i.e. the angle by which the current leads or lags the voltage.
When a three phase generator is short circuted what is the current and voltage?
Hopefully the current and voltage would be zero. The generators overload and short circuit main breaker protection is there just for conditions like that. As soon as the fault is recognized by the protection the generator is taken off line.
Why is phase voltage not twice line voltage?
Line to line voltage is not the same as line to neutral voltage because line voltages are 120 degrees apart. They are related by: Line to neutral voltage * tan (120 degrees) = Line to neutral voltage * 1.73.Additional CommentFor delta-connected systems, the line voltage is the same as the phase voltage.For wye-connected systems, the line voltage is larger than the phase voltage by a factor of 1.732. The reason for this is as follows:Because any two phase voltages are displaced from each other by 120o, they must be added vectorially, not algebraically, to find the line voltage. As the above answer points out, this means that the relationship between the two is the square-root of 3, or 1.732.
Is transmission voltage a phase to phase voltage or a phase to ground voltage?
Phase to Phase voltageCorrection to the above answer:There is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' or 'phase-to-ground' voltage. The correct terms are 'line-to-line' (or 'line voltage') and 'line-to-ground' (or 'phase voltage'). Transmission-line voltages are line-to-line (or 'line') voltages.
How do you calculate 3 phase power factor?
The power factor for a three phase generator is 80 percent. The generator consumes 36 kilowatts and a line to line voltage of 400 volts.
What is phase voltage and line voltage in star connection?
The conductors that connect a three-phase supply to its load are called 'line conductors' or, more simply, 'lines'. The individual generator stator windings, transformer winding, or loads are called 'phases'. Lines and line terminals are identified by colours, letters, numbers, or combinations of letters and numbers. For example, A-B-C. Phases are identified by using the letters assigned to the line terminals between which the phases are connected, e.g A-B, B-C, and C-A. Voltages measured between lines ('line-to-line') are termed 'line voltages', and currents that pass through the lines are called 'line currents'. Voltages measured across a generator's windings, transformer windings, or individual loads, are called 'phase voltages', and the currents that pass through these are called 'phase currents'. For a three-phase, three-wire, system, the phase- and line-voltages are numerically-equal to each other. For a three-phase, four-wire, system, the line voltage is 1.732 times larger than the phase voltage.
