A simple AC generator consists of:Figure 3 Simple AC Generator(a) a strong magnetic field, (b)conductors that rotate through thatmagnetic field, and (c) a means bywhich a continuous connection isprovided to the conductors as theyare rotating . The strongmagnetic field is produced by acurrent flow through the field coilof the rotor. The field coil in therotor receives excitation throughthe use of slip rings and brushes.Two brushes are spring-held incontact with the slip rings toprovide the continuous connectionbetween the field coil and theexternal excitation circuit. The armature is contained within the windings of the stator and isconnected to the output. Each time the rotor makes one complete revolution, one complete cycleof AC is developed. A generator has many turns of wire wound into the slots of the rotor.
The magnitude of AC voltage generated by an AC generator is dependent on the field strengthand speed of the rotor. Most generators are operated at a constant speed; therefore, the generatedvoltage depends on field excitation, or strength.
Alternator and ac generator is equal
An ac generator produces ac, a dc generator produces dc, it all depends on the generator.

You step down voltage from an AC generator with a transformer.You step down frequency from an AC generator with a motor/generator set, or with an inverter. This is not a common thing to do.
Induction type alternator and synchronous generator.
Alternator and ac generator is equal
what is the construction of ac generator
An ac generator produces ac, a dc generator produces dc, it all depends on the generator.

NO, generator always generating AC current,when commutator is used,at that time AC is converted in DC.and due to this generator is called dc generator.
DC generator
You step down voltage from an AC generator with a transformer.You step down frequency from an AC generator with a motor/generator set, or with an inverter. This is not a common thing to do.
an induction generator
It can be, however AC power is generally produced directly by an AC alternator/generator.
please how can i diagnose faults on an AC generator power circuits?
a generator:)
Type your answer here... how can you change an ac motor to a dc generator
