Section 1 GENERA T OR FUND AMENT ALS MA GNETISM Magnetism can be used to produce electricity and electricity can be used to produce magnetism. Much about magnetism cannot be e xplained by our present knowledge . How ev er , there are cer tain pat - terns of beha vior that are known. Application of these behavior patter ns has led to the dev elopmen[...]

Section 1 GENERA T OR FUND AMENT ALS A SIMPLE A C GENERA T OR Figure 1-4 shows a very simple AC Generator . The generator consists of a rotating magnetic field called a RO T OR and a stationar y coil of wire called a ST A T OR. The RO T OR is a per manent magnet which consists of a SOUTH magnetic pole and a NORTH magnetic pole. As the MO T OR tur n[...]

Section 1 GENERA T OR FUND AMENT ALS 2. During star tup, pr inted circuit board action controls the ST AR T/ ST OP RELA Y to deliver batter y voltage to the RO T OR, via the brushes and slip rings. a. The batter y voltage is called “Field Boost”. b . Flow of direct current through the RO TOR increases the strength of the magnetic field abov e t[...]

Section 2 MEASURING ELECTRICITY METERS De vices used to measure electr ical proper ties are called meters. Meters are av ailable that allow one to measure (a) A C voltage , (b) DC voltage, (c) A C frequency , and (d) resistance in ohms. The following apply: • T o measure A C voltage, use an A C voltmeter . • T o measure DC voltage , use a DC vo[...]

Section 2 MEASURING ELECTRICITY engine speed gov er nor . For models rated 60 Her tz, the gov er nor is generally set to maintain a no-load fre- quency of about 62 Her tz with a corresponding output v oltage of about 124 volts AC line-to-neutral. Engine speed and frequency at no-load are set slightly high to prev ent excessiv e rpm and frequency dr[...]

Section 2 MEASURING ELECTRICITY Component testing ma y require a specific resis- tance value or a test f or INFINITY or CONTINUITY . Infinity is an OPEN condition between two electrical points, which would read as no resistance on a V OM. Continuity is a CLOSED condition between two elec- trical points, which would be indicated as very low resistan[...]

Section 3 DESCRIPTION & COMPONENTS INTRODUCTION The generator rev olving field (rotor) is driven by an air-cooled engine at about 3600 r pm. The generator ma y be used to supply electrical power f or the operation of 120 and/or 240 volts, 1-phase, 60 Hz, A C loads.
