Electric Generator I

Friendly electric generators store provides a reliable electric generator basic principles & information to help you know more about electric generators & electricity.

 A reliable Electric Generator is comprised of the engine, the generator end (alternator) and a control panel.       To get an electrical current to flow, we need a power source, and some sort of conductor. A conductor is defined as anything that can carry a flow of electricity. In electrical practice, conductors tend to be copper wire or copper bars, usually hidden away inside plastic sleeves. The sleeves are insulators, that is, materials that prevent the flow of electricity. It is the insulator that keeps the electrical current where it belongs - inside the cable.

Three main electrical conductors enter a domestic property, and are distributed throughout it. These conductors are referred to as live, neutral and earth.

    The live and neutral conductors should be considered as the `power supply' to the premises. The voltage between live and neutral will generally be about 230 V AC. In all normal circumstances, current that enters the premises on the live conductor leaves it on the neutral, and vice-versa. The earth conductor carries negligible current except in fault situations.

Although the live and neutral conductors both carry current, only the live conductor is at a voltage that could be harmful. The neutral conductor will normally be at the same voltage as the earth conductor. In fact, at some point the neutral and the earth will be connected together.
