The 24v battery is used to provide the initial field current. This couples to the stator windings, and as the generator spins induces a voltage on the stator windings, which causes back EMF onto the field windings (when load is present), which slows the generator's spin until the governor kicks in to bring it back up to speed.

The important thing to note is the output power of the generator is not a factor of the 24v field voltage, it is directly dependent upon the fuel being used to get the generator spinning. The 24 volts just "jump starts" the field voltage. Think of it as synonymous with the 12 volt battery that starts your car.

Why DC battery is required for generator?

The starter motor of a diesel generator is a DC motor. Depending on the size of the diesel engine the starter motor could be 12 volts or 24 volts. Sometimes more that one battery is used at the specific voltage. These batteries are connected in parallel to create more amp hour cranking power.


What is the difference between prime rating KVA and standby KVA?

The difference b/w the prime generator & standby generator is that the prime generator is used for 24/7/365, while the standby generators are only used in emergency cases, if we used standby generators for more than 24 hours continuously, then it will be overheated for sure.


What charger do you need for a 24 volt battery?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. 300/24 = 12.5 amps. A good charger with an output of 15 amps will do the job nicely. The time that it will take to charge the battery will depend on the amp/hrs of the connected battery and the state of discharge that the battery is in when charging starts.


Instead of aircraft battery is 24 volt dc why aircraft use 28 volt dc?

An aircraft battery is usually 28 volts DC because the need for power is greater in an aircraft than in a diesel truck. Having the 4 extra volts is a type of insurance policy so that the battery does not go dead while the plane is in the air.


Wiring 12 volts DC to get 24 volts DC?

negative - on battaery 1 goes to ground positive + on battery 1 goes to negative - on battery 2 positive + on battery 2 goes to your power requirment can be done in any case senario e.g 2-6volts to get one 12 and 1-12 24 or 4-6volts 12-volts 4 12volts any case senario negative - on battaery 1 goes to ground positive + on battery 1 goes to negative - on battery 2 positive + on battery 2 goes to your power requirment can be done in any case senario e.g 2-6volts to get one 12 and 1-12 24 or 4-6volts 12-volts 4 12volts any case senario

Do emergency Lights have to be on all the time?

No. Emergency lights are designed to turn ON when there is a power loss or outage either from their back up battery or from an emergency generator. In buildings which do not have back up emergency generators, (which most are) emergency lights require power supplied to them 24/7 to keep their batteries charged.


How are the 12-volt batteries connected to provide the required 24-volt electrical power for the FRS generator?

If you put two 12 V batteries in series you get 24 V. Connect the positive of battery 1 to the negative of battery 2. Then you have 24 V between negative of battery 1 and positive of battery 2.

Can you connect a 24v 30amp alternator to a 200amh 12v battery to charge it?

You can do anything, but is it safe or proper. No The 24 V will eventually overcharge the battery after a while and start damaging it. (A flammable gas is produces and the battery could explode.)
