it really depends on the station and it is referred to as distributed voltage, Our utility is 69 kv or 69,000 volts. it is stepped down to a usable voltage by Transformers for distribution.

Was there a generator on Titanic?
The Titanic had a massive engine room with boilers that produced power through burning coal.
Can a transformer be used to power a deep fridge from a generator?
You power "type" must match. Most likely your generator should be able to have the fridge plug directly in, but you may indeed need a transformer to step the voltage up or down.
Why do large communities use power station?
Not only large communities but small communities as well all have power stations or using the trade vernacular, sub stations. They can be a large as one acre in area or as small as three transformers on a platform between two power poles.The duty of the sub station is to start reducing the voltage from the very high transmission voltage to a more manageable lower voltage. It has to be kept in mind that as the voltage is lowered the size of the equipment to handle the lower voltage becomes lighter because the insulation factor is lowered.When the voltage leaves the substation, the utility company lines are used to transmit the lowered voltage around the community. When the voltage reaches your home it is reduced once again by the transformer on the poles along the street or in underground primary systems by the pad mount transformers that line the street close to the homes property line.
What is the power consumption on 3 ton air conditioning unit while using a generator?
It would be the same as if it were connected to a utility service. To find the wattage of a device multiply the voltage by the amperage. W = A x V.
How to generate power from piezoelectricity?
mainly Piezoelectric crystal is a transducer which convert mechanical energy to electrical energy.piezoelectricity material generate power, when we compress or extended its shape.means that when we change in dimension of material then the voltage produced between atoms of material by which power generate.
What is relation between speed of generator and its voltage and torque on generator shaft and current produced by generator?
power = torque * rpm
How do nuclear power stations operate?
Basically, all power stations adopt the same method to produce electricity. A turbine is caused torotate. A generator is attached to the shaft of the turbine. As the turbine turns, electricity is produced inthe generator. This electricity is sent out through transmission lines to a distribution station of theElectricity Board.In hydroelectric power stations, the turbine is turned by flowing water. In thermal power stations,steam is produced by heating water in a furnace which burns coal or oil. In nuclear power stations, thesteam is produced by the heat generated in the fission process.
How is electricity produced at a power station?
In a coal-fired power station, a boiler burns coal to produce steam. The steam makes a turbine spin. The turbine drives an electricity generator. The electricity from the generator is converted to a higher voltage by a transformer. This higher voltage is to enable transmission over long power lines without losing too much energy. When it comes to reach our homes, it is then converted back into lower voltage by other transformers. Nuclear power stations are similar - instead of a coal-fired boiler, a nuclear reactor creates the steam. Wind turbines use the blades to turn the generator.
How does electricity get from the power stations to the consumers?
Usually through cables. The power produced by the generator (typically 24KV) is stepped up to the transmission voltage (typically 138KV) using transformers. At various substations, transformers, again, step the transmission voltage down to distribution voltage (typically 13.2KV). There is another step down at the service pole, where a transformer converts the distribution voltage to service voltage (typically 120/240V or 480V three phase).
How much wind is needed to produce 12volt dc?
It's not the amount of wind, but the design of the generator, that decides what voltage is produced. The amount of wind will determine the power produced.
What can be produced by a generator?
energy/power
Is ac power produced first in a dc generator?
It can be, however AC power is generally produced directly by an AC alternator/generator.
What is meant by Generator P.f?
the cosine of the angle between voltage and current of generator is called power factor (pf) of generator.
How is 4160 voltage made?
Well first we need to generate voltage from electrical generator. Then if voltage are below 4160 volt step up Transformer is used and if voltage are above 4160 volt step down Transformer is used. Generally voltage produced from generator are low so we need to step up voltage to higher values such as 240 kilo volt to transmit them to longer distances to reduce power losses.
How does the generator terminal voltage rise and the motor speed fall when the brushes are given a backward shift in a generator or forward shift in a motor?
A generator is a back up of power. A generator can only give so much voltage.
How much electricity is produced by nuclear power?
1.7% of Pakistan electricity is produced by nuclear power stations
Can you run a ac unit with a generator?
Yes but some details must be right. The generator must produce the power at the right voltage for the appliances, and it also must be capable of supplying enough power for the appliances.
