A Short Description Of Generators

A Short Description Of Generators


by Misty Tyler


If you are a homeowner or business owner who needs to ensure that there will be no break in electrical service, there is a dependable solution available in the marketplace today. Generators are designed to provide full time, alternative, standby or emergency power which will help to keep the business operating or the electrical requirements of the residence met. A variety of generators Middlesex residents can use will provide reliable and effective solutions.

The reasons for owning a generator are varied and numerous. The generator may be a backup power source, or one which provides standby power. Other generators are the primary power source for the business or residence. Still others are the only source of electrical power. Most people do not think about their dependence upon electricity and electrical power until it is lost due to a storm, line breakages or excessive demands on the system.

The basic operating principle of a generator is based on transforming mechanical energy into electrical energy. Rather than creating energy, the power equipment transforms energy. The process is accomplished by using a magnet to move electrical particles through the wire in the windings.

When you want backup for household appliances in the event of a power failure, a portable generator is the answer. A generator can be used at construction projects where there is not power source. When you need to operate power tools, including drills, saws or paint sprayers, you can supply the needed power with a portable power plant. It typically will require at least an electrical output equal to four kilowatts.

Generator units are powered by various fuels. Some of the most common are diesel-powered and natural gas-powered units. There are gasoline engines and even solar-powered units. The selection of the appropriate size and style of generator will depend upon the specific needs by the home or business owners.

The parts which make up a typical generator are generally the same across brands and models. You need an engine, fuel system and lubrication system. The engine must be cooled and the gases exhausted. The unit needs a voltage regulator and battery charger. The frame and control panel support the unit and show its operating status.

Connecting the alternative power source to use as backup can be done in two ways. You can use an extension cord from the generator to any appliances which need to be operated while the power is down. A safer method is to install a switch to transfer the power source at the home or business power panel. The switching can be done manually or by using a remote device. When there is an interruption in power from the utility company, the owner simply switches to the alternative power source.

Advantages of the equipment outweigh the disadvantages. When you need the power, you will probably want to put up with the negative features. Generators can be quite noisy. Today's models try to make them quiet, with some success. The sound levels are okay when the unit is in an outdoor setting, but less so when used in a recreational vehicle or similar setting. Another issue is the safety of the device. They should never be used in an enclosed area, due to the risk of carbon monoxide buildup.
