Prime movers for power generating operation?
A "prime mover" is part of a generator - specificially the thing that's causing the generator to spin (such as a turbine). It is called the prime mover because it is what is causing the generator's rotation.
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.
How generator run?
By help of prime mover which supplies the mechanical energy to the shaft of generator(in case of dc generators).
What fuel used in DC generator?
Any generator, d.c. or a.c., is driven by a 'prime mover'. It's the prime move that uses fuel, not the generator! There are lots of different types of prime mover, including combustion engines (petrol, diesel), turbines (gas, water, air), etc.
What Turns the arm of a generator?
The arm of a generator is turned by a prime mover, such as a steam turbine, water turbine, or internal combustion engine. The motion provided by the prime mover is transferred to the armature through a shaft, causing it to rotate within the magnetic field of the stator which generates electricity.
What is the source for mechanical motion supplied to a generator called?
The source for mechanical motion supplied to a generator is called a prime mover. This prime mover can be in the form of a steam turbine, gas turbine, water turbine, wind turbine, or internal combustion engine, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy through the generator.
How do generators run?
By help of prime mover which supplies the mechanical energy to the shaft of generator(in case of dc generators).
Is it possible to use a dc motor as a prime mover for a three phase syncronous ac generator?
It is possible to use it
What has to be interchange in order to reverse the direction of rotation of shunt generator?
the direction of the rotation of dc shunt generator could be changed only by changing the direction of rotation of the prime mover
Which statement describes an AC generator?
AC generator is a rotating machine with a rotor and stator winding, driven by another prime mover, which generates alternating current at a specified voltage.
What happen if a prime mover fails when two generators are in parallel?
It acts as synchronous motor by consuming power from the other generator....
Why the field current is less in generator?
The field current is used to create an electromagnet. The power out of a generator comes from the prime mover (the thing that is making the rotor spin), not the field current. The field current is necessary to set up an electric field to induce electric current onto the stator windings. The stronger the electromagnet, the harder it is for the prime mover to spin (similar to a high gear on a bicycle), causing more power to be needed to keep the prime mover turning.
