Your question is unclear. Do you mean how the rotor of a d.c. generator is driven? If so, then its shaft is connected to a 'prime mover' which can be an internal combustion engine (petrol or diesel engine) or a turbine (steam, water, gas). The type of prime mover usually depends on the source of fuel available to operate that prime mover and whether it is fixed or portable.
What else can I help you with?
Why DC motors and DC generators are commonly known as DC machines?
because the dc motor will act as dc generator as same as dc generator acts as a dc motor .so it is called as dc machines.AnswerBecause generators and motors are machines, and operate on d.c.'A.C. machines' are generators, transformers, and motors which operate on a.c.
How are eddy currents related to DC Generators?
i don't know......sorry =)
Which is the device that converts AC to DC?
A Rectifier converts Alternating current into Direct current
What are the factors which dertemines the direction of rotation of a motor?
The direction of rotation of a motor is primarily determined by the direction of the current flowing through its windings and the arrangement of the magnetic fields. In DC motors, reversing the polarity of the voltage applied to the motor changes the current direction, thus reversing rotation. In AC motors, the phase sequence of the supply voltage influences the direction of the rotating magnetic field, which in turn dictates the motor's rotation. Additionally, the physical configuration of the motor, such as the winding connections, can also affect its rotational direction.
What is the best brand of DC generator?
Currently Polaris is the best brand on DC generators. Hitachi and Coleman also make very reliable ones.
What will happen if the generator rotates in the opposite direction from that specified?
If the rotation is reversed in DC generator the permanent magnetism already occurred for voltage build up process may demagnetize. this will causes no emf induce at starting time.The reversal of rotation is not affect externally excited generators
Are DC generators more expensive then AC generators?
DC generators require more time and material to make. Because of this, it will be cheaper to purchase an AC generator. DC generators are typically a better product as well, and you get what you pay for.
Where is there a retailer that sells DC Generators?
Windstream Power and several other companies like it sell DC generators. You can buy them online or there are several stores where DC generators can be purchased. There do not seem to be any stores which sell them locally, but you can buy DC Generators online at http://www.windstreampower.com
What are the advantages of dc generator?
DC generators are always useful in case of power outages. Many commercial companies use generators as back up units. DC generators are also energy efficient.
Is it diesel generators is DC or AC generators?
Most diesel generators are designed to produce alternating current (AC) electricity. However, there are some diesel generators that can also produce direct current (DC) electricity with the help of rectifiers or inverters.
Where can you find a DC generator for a hobbyist?
There are several online stores selling DC generators. Many household appliance store will also have generators.
What are the advantages of dcs?
DC generators are always useful in case of power outages. Many commercial companies use generators as back up units. DC generators are also energy efficient.
The electricity you get from batteries and generators is called?
Batteries and generators provide DC, Direct Current electricity.
How the output characteristics of AC and DC generators vary from each other?
AC generators have a varying waveform which is sinusoidal in nature, whereas a DC output is linear.
What are the Two types of generators that can be used to produce electricity?
The two main types of generators used to produce electricity are AC (alternating current) generators and DC (direct current) generators. AC generators are commonly used in power plants and homes, while DC generators are typically used in portable devices and certain industrial applications.
List out the conditions to be satisfied for running two or more DC shunt generators in parallel?
List out the conditions to be satisfied for running two or more DC shunt generators in parallel?
How do generators run?
By help of prime mover which supplies the mechanical energy to the shaft of generator(in case of dc generators).
