Generators work by changing mechanical energy to electrical energy. It can be done by spinning an armature (one of the electrical components of a motor that contains conductors) through a magnetic field.
Generators are based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. This electromagnetic effect induces voltage and current in the moving conductors.

∙ 8y agoIn electricity generation, a generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy for use in an external circuit. The source of mechanical energy may vary widely from a hand crank to an internal combustion engine. Generators provide nearly all of the power for electric power grids.

Does an alternator work similar to an ac generator?
Alternator and ac generator is equal
How does a generator exciter work?
Exciter controls the magnetic field in the generator system and controls the output voltage and/or current.
How does the starting of synchronous motor using dc generator as a load work-?
Starting of the synchronous motor using the DC generator creates a magnetic field.

What happens if excitation fails in parallel oprating generator?
when excitation fails,Reactive power will be supplied by the system to which the generator is connected and generator will work as induction generator and its speed will rise a little. generator which was in over excitation mode will work in underexcitation.but there is under excitation limit which should not be reached so we should detect loss of excitation and trip generator
How does work the generator?
throgh kinetic energy

Where can I find information that compares a gas generator versus an electric generator?
A gas generator generates electricity and can be used as a backup in a power outage. I am not certain what you mean by an electric generator. If there was a power outage, how would an electric generator work?
How does the electrostatic generator work?
The electric static generator is a device that produces static electricity, or electricity at high voltage
How does a generator exciter work?
Exciter controls the magnetic field in the generator system and controls the output voltage and/or current.
