Generators transform energy into electrical energy. The output of the generator is the electric power it "makes". The input is whatever is used to create mechanical energy to turn the "prime mover", or the thing that makes the generator spin (be it steam / thermal energy, water, wind, etc.).

What is the function of a function switch of a signal generator?

it is used to select the type of input we want to give to any of our ckt's.... Input's such as sine, square, triangular, pulse etc....


Design principles of function generator?

A: A function generator do just that output a function from any input. It can be as simple as sine wave, square wave, sawtooth, and ramp generator principle is to provide amplifiers that the output are gated to limits allows sum and subtract the input to provide the desired function. It looks more like an analogue computer when finished if it is very complex in design.


A generator produces 240volts at 25 amperes. If the mechanical and electrical power losses total 900 watts what is the efficiency of the generator?

Efficiency is measured as the ratio of power output to power input. In this case the power input of the generator is 240V * 25A = 6000 VA however the stated losses are 900 W so the power output is 6000 - 900 = 5100W. Then the efficiency would be 5100/6000 = 0.85 or 85% efficient.


Working of function generator?

After powering on the function generator, the output signal needs to be configured to the desired shape. Typically, this means connecting the signal and ground leads to an oscilloscope to check the controls. Adjust the function generator until the output signal is correct, then attach the signal and ground leads from the function generator to the input and ground of the device under test. For some applications, the negative lead of the function generator should attach to a negative input of the device, but usually attaching to ground is sufficient

Is there a generator out there that doesnt require any input energy?

no there must at least be an initial input to get it started.


What is the relation between motor and generator?

Motors and Generators are Transducers which convert one form of energy to another form. Constructionally both are same. Theoretically, same machine can function as both motor and generator depending upon the input it recieves. If it is supplied with mechanical input it gives out electrical output (Generator). If it is given electrical input, it gives out mechanical output (Motor).

What happens if input to a generator is increased where it is synchronised to a powergrid whose Mw is fixed?

When input to generator increased when it is synchronised, speed of alternator get disturbed which inturn leads to the change in frequency,when frequency gets change synchronization is no long.

How to give mechanical input to the generator?

You can provide mechanical input to a generator by connecting it to a rotating source, such as a turbine or an engine, using a drive shaft. The rotation of the source will then be converted into electrical energy by the generator through the process of electromagnetic induction. Proper alignment and sizing of the mechanical components are essential to ensure efficient power generation.
