How long can the maximum ampere rating on a generator be exceeded?
Sometimes only seconds, it depends on the way the manufacturer rated the "maximum" capacity. In general, electrical equipment should be operated at no more than 1/2 of a maximum capacity.
How to compute the minimum load of 16 MW generator?
A generator, rated at 16 MW, should be able to continuously supply a load of 16 MW. You don't need to compute its 'minimum load', because the minimum load will be zero watts! In other words, you can run the generator with no load whatsoever if you wish to waste fuel.The point is that the power supplied by a generator is determined by the load, NOT by the generator itself -so it is important that the generator is capable of supplying the maximum load applied to it. A generator's 'rated power output' simply tells us the maximum load it is capable of supplying.
What generator size is needed for 0.5 hp 220 volt 1 phase?
The generator should be about ¾ hp.
What would be minimum capacity of transformer betweed generator and 220 kV transmission line system?
At a minimum, the main step up transformer for a generator should carry 105% of the full MW output of the generator.
What causes a generator to stop?
There are many reasons why a generator should stop. If you are referring to a petrol (gasoline) generator, one reason is that it may be overloaded (i.e. its load draws too much current), causing the motor to stall.
Why should you not fill the kettle to its maximum?
it is a waste of electricity
How to turn a generator to standby?
When turning a generator to a standby operations mode, there is often a switch on the generator. By turning the switch on and off, you should be able to use the generator should the power turn off and resume electricity which may have been interrupted
What kind of magnets can be used to generate electricity?
Any kind of magnet can be used in a generator or alternator to generate electricity, even an electromagnet (when these are used the generator or alternator is called self-excited). But for the highest efficiency it should be a kind of magnet with a very strong field (so that more lines of flux can cut the conductors in the generator's or alternator's coils).
Why is it said that generator is a motor working in reverse?
because working principle of both the things are same.The motor converts electrical energy in to mechanical via magnetic induction and generator do the exact opposite of this.And yes,you should use 'electricity generator' not only 'generator'.

Where does one place the emergency generator?
An emergency generator is a type of machine that helps generate emergency electricity. Most emergency generators are gas powered. Therefore, they should be placed in a well-ventilated area. Usually, they are placed on a back porch or in a garage. They should not be placed inside a home.
How is electricity generated through the use of turbines?
Turbine is only a device that is rotating when a fluid (water, air, steam,...) flows through it. It is attached to a generator, that generates (as a name implies) electricity when being turned. Generator can be an ordinary 3-phase electric motor: if it is connected to electricity, it rotates (converting electrical energy to mechanical), if you rotate it, it generates electricity. 3-phase motors only rotate as fast as the frequency of the grid determines (e.g. 50 Hz = 50 x 60 s = 3000 rpm, 60 Hz - 3600 rpm; it is a bit less due to reactive power, but let's keep it simple). When working as generator, the turbine is constantly "trying" to rotate generator faster than its normal speed, and the motor is resisting it by pushing electricity back into the grid. If the generator is not connected to the grid, one has to control the speed of the turbine (since the generator does not know how fast it should rotate).
Understanding Home Generator Sizing?
A home generator can be a useful tool in emergencies. When buying a generator, it's important to find a unit that will power all the necessary appliances and utilities in a home. Homes that have an electric pump for well water should have a 5 kilowatt generator for maximum performance. Homes with a municipal water supply will only need a 3 kilowatt generator. A whole-home generator will usually be 10 kilowatts and will require professional installation.
Will 2500 generator run a laminating machine 240v 10a 50hz?
Yes. 240 volts at 10 amps is 2400 watts. The generator is 2500 watts maximum. If the generator is 2500 peak power it may not run it very long. If the continuous power rating is at least 2400 watts it should be OK.
Get A Generator For Power Doors?
If you use doors that are powered by electricity, you should get a residential backup generator that can be used when the main source of electricity, the city's power grid, is not working. You need to make sure that these doors will work at all times so that people who are in wheelchairs can still use them. If these people are trapped inside because the doors will not work, they could be in danger.
Should I read the instructions before operating a generator?
It is always a good idea to read the instructions first to become familiar with how the generator works. There are moving parts on the inside that produce electricity so you will need to take care to avoid electric shock or other injury.
