Best Answer

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 uninterruptible?

DC, or direct current, such as from a battery or a DC generator.


How do you convert ac generator to dc generator?

Such conversions are often inefficient and/or expensive. It requires an external power supply or battery charger to convert AC into DC.


What is prime mover in a dc generator?

The prime mover in a DC generator is the mechanical device or system that provides the initial energy required to rotate the generator's armature. It could be an engine, turbine, or any other source that converts mechanical energy into rotational motion. The prime mover rotates the generator's rotor, inducing a magnetic field and generating electrical power.

What keeps a battery on a motorcycle running?

The battery is charged by a generator that runs through a regulator-rectifier. The generator outputs AC voltage and the rectifier converts the voltage to DC. The generator is normally mounted inside the engine on the flywheel.

What is separately-excited generator?

in a separately excited generator the field coils are excited from a separate source like a dc battery may be or any other small generator. They are self starting generators.


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.


Are TV's in buses AC or DC input?

Televisions in buses can be either AC or DC current. It depends on whether the bus is using a DC to AC power convertor or an AC generator or DC power from the battery.

Applications of a dc shunt generator?

DC series generators are generally used as Voltage Boosters


How is alternative current prodused in a battery?

A battery by itself will only supply DC output. You would need a method to convert DC to AC, such as an inverter, in simplified terms: an electronic circuit which has an oscillator to create the desired frequency then amplifies it to the desired magnitude output. Another way, which I don't know if used anymore, is a motor-generator set. A DC motor's shaft is connected to an AC generator's shaft, and the output is taken from the AC generator.
