AC generators (alternators) usually have a dc supply to the rotor coils, supplied through slip-rings with carbon brushes. Because the slip-rings can be made very smooth the life of the brushes is greatly extended when compared with brushes on the commutator of a dc motor or an ac commutator motor.
Cars generate electrical power with a three-phase AC alternator, connected directly to the battery through rectifier diodes. The alternator voltage is controlled by the voltage regulator, which works by controlling the dc supply to the rotor.

Which is usually produced by a generator ac or DC?
An ac generator produces ac, a dc generator produces dc, it all depends on the generator.
Does an alternator work similar to an ac generator?
Alternator and ac generator is equal
How do you step down frequency and voltage from an AC generator?
You step down voltage from an AC generator with a transformer.You step down frequency from an AC generator with a motor/generator set, or with an inverter. This is not a common thing to do.
How many types of AC generator are there?
Induction type alternator and synchronous generator.
How can an ac generator be converted to DC generator?
It may not be possible to physically convert AC generator to DC generator. What can be done is that 'Rectifier' of suitable capacity can be connected to the out put of AC generator to get DC supply.
Ac generator construction?

Does an alternator work similar to an ac generator?
Alternator and ac generator is equal
Does a generator produce ac or DC voltage?
NO, generator always generating AC current,when commutator is used,at that time AC is converted in DC.and due to this generator is called dc generator.
Is dynamo an AC generator?
DC generator

What is another name for an ac generator?
an induction generator
Is ac power produced first in a dc generator?
It can be, however AC power is generally produced directly by an AC alternator/generator.
Can i have a view of the power circuit of an AC generator?
please how can i diagnose faults on an AC generator power circuits?
What is a brush less generator?
It is self excited generator, no external excitation circuit.
Which is a source of AC?
a generator:)
