Direct current is simply a by-product of the generating process. It simply means the current travels in one polarity, where as AC, or alternating current changes polarity at a constant rate. (60 hertz in the US)

∙ 14y agoThe output current is equivalent to the output power (in VA) divided by the terminal voltage.
Relatively large coal plants may be 600-800MW output power, and often have a terminal voltage between 13.8 - 25kV.
A good "average" full load output current for an average coal plant may be 15,000-25,000 amps, but real calculations are easy enough to do that an estimate really shouldn't be necessary.

What kind of current flows in the armature conductor of a dc generator?
pogi current flow in the armature conductor
Can you use a dc generator as a dc motor?
Yes you can turn a motor into a generator, if it is a permanent magnet motor.
What kind of electricity does an alternator make DC or AC?
It makes AC ( alternating current ) . That's why it's called an alternator. A DC generator would usually be called a dynamo.
What is produced by a generator?
The general term generator is usually applied to the kind of generator that produces electricity, or electric power.
Types of signal generator?
There's is five different kind; Audio, Radio, Microwave, Logic and Arbitrary.
What kind of current flows in the armature conductor of a dc generator?
pogi current flow in the armature conductor
What kind of current does a generator?
All depends on what MW of a generator its coupled with, assuming we are talking about "steam" or "gas" turbines. Otherwise, its relevant to the coupled generator.
Why are currents changing direction?
Alternating current is generated by a rotating generator which moves in such a way as to produce that kind of current.
When you are creating a generator what determines how much current is generated?
You don't generate current. You generate voltage, and the amount of current that leaves the generator is determined by the devices that are designed to run with that voltage, and draw their operating energy from your generator. You choose the size of the materials used to construct your generator based on the maximum amount of current you expect it to be asked to deliver by its users. But the actual current at any moment will depend on how many people are using it for their supply, and what kind of appliances they're operating. If nobody is using power from your generator, or the output cables are disconnected from it, then you can run it all you want and the current will be zero. Before you decide on the final design and go out for bids to construct your generating station, you might like to review the topics of voltage, current, power, and energy, and get them straight in your mind.
What kind of current does a turbine generates?
All depends on what MW of a generator its coupled with, assuming we are talking about "steam" or "gas" turbines. Otherwise, its relevant to the coupled generator.
What kind of motor does a Chevy volt have?
It has an 111 KW generator. The gasoline 1.4 L engine only powers the generator and does not drive the wheels. Power to the wheels comes from a 16kWh lithium ion battery pack.
What kind of energy is made when steam comes out of the earth and spins a turbine?
The energy made by the turbine/generator is electrical, but the source of the energy is geothermal
Can you use a dc generator as a dc motor?
Yes you can turn a motor into a generator, if it is a permanent magnet motor.
What kind of electricity used in train?
Ac current. Ac current is easily controlled for voltage and frequency. The diesel engine runs a generator that generates AC current for use in the electric drive motors on each drive wheel.
What kind of electricity does an alternator make DC or AC?
It makes AC ( alternating current ) . That's why it's called an alternator. A DC generator would usually be called a dynamo.
The M157 smoke generator set uses what kind of smoke generator?
gasoline
How does cycle pedal Generator produced electricity?
the pedals drive the wheel, the wheel drive an electrical generator.2 possibilities for the wheel to drive the generator:-the wheel does not have a tire: a belt goes in the rim and drive a puley on the shaft of the generator.-the wheel has a tire: there is a drive roller on the shaft of the generator. the drive roller is pressed on the tire.The generator can be of any kind. They are commonly car alternator or permanent magnet dc motor, but you can also drive an alternative current squirel cage generator. Depending on the chosen generator, you have to use an electric circuit appropriate for the generator.
