1.Introduction to Generators
Thedevice which converts mechanical
energy to electrical energy is called generator
Once your home is safely off the grid, the switch starts up the generator
before transferring its power to the building's electrical panel. At the heart of
the system is an internal combustion engine, which is usually fuelled by the
local natural gas supply. Where natural gas isn't available, liquid propane or
diesel stored in a large tank nearby can be used.
Keep in mind these systems rely on a finite amount of fuel that could run
dry if storm damage prevents delivery or increased demand hampers supply.
1.Introduction to Generators
When municipal power resumes, the switch shuts down the
generator and reconnects your buidling to the grid. This seamless
operation makes standby generators ideal for commercial buildings,
as well as those needing uninterrupted use of electric-powered
medical equipment. They're also crucial for anyone running a home
business.
Like cars, standby generators run nonstop for many hours, so they have to be
maintained as if they were, well, cars. Generally, bigger units require more
care.
"After around 10 days, have a professional change the oil and the filter."
Your generator will stay healthy through a lifetime of outages if you check the
engine oil daily during use, run it at no more than 75 per cent of its rated
capacity, replace overworked or deformed motor brushes, and avoid starting
or stopping it under load whenever possible.
2.Principle of working:
In generators mechanical energy is transformed
into electrical energy.
The principle of all of the generators is same,
although the detail of construction may be differ
somewhat.
A generator has two main parts:
Coil
Magnet

Purpose The reliability is paramount in emergency and standby
power applications. A common cause of engine generator sets
failure to start is a battery failure.

1.Introduction to Generators
Petrol Engine sets are available from several hundred
watts to about 100 kW. Smaller sets use two- and four-
cycle high speed, lightweight engines. Larger sets use
multiple cylinder engines built for automobiles and trucks.
