Electric Generators for Energy Conversion | Diesel, Gas & Silent Types

An electric generator is a machine that transforms mechanical power to electrical power. Different types of generators include alternators commonly found in cars, or larger power-generating systems, and DC generators. Typically, a magnetic field that is rotating, is created by a prime mover, such as an engine, turbines, or fryers, and induced in the generators’ coils. Electric generators have different applications, whether it's for small appliances or large industrial plants.
