Introduction of difference between alternator and generator

Today Starlight Power generator manufacturer shares the difference among alternator and generator with you. Alternator vs Generator Alternators and generators are two devices which generate electricity. An alternator can be called a type of generator. Although both these devices serve the same function, they are quite different in every other aspect. An alternator is a charging system for cars that produces electricity. Generators are used in the production of large-scale electricity. Both alternators and generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The main difference between them is in regard to what spins and what is fixed. In an alternator, electricity is produced when a magnetic field spins inside the stator (windings of wire). In a generator, on the other hand, the armature or windings of wire spin inside a fixed magnetic field to generate electricity. Alternators are considered more efficient than generators. Alternators conserve energy by using on...

How to Choose Lubricating Oil for Cummins Engine?

Since USA Cummins diesel engine was put on the market, it is very popular and quickly occupies the market because of small size, big power, advanced technology, reliable and durable, good applicability, low cost, easy maintenance and other advantages. Many users' diesel engines still work well after driving 400-500 thousand kilometers, or even 600-700 thousand kilometers. But some users’ diesel engines only drive several kilometers, there is serious damage. For serious situation, the oil consumption is serious and the power is obviously reduced. For very serious situation, even cause engine scrap. Why same type engine, but the use result is different? The main reason is improper use of engine lubricating oil. Firstly, when choose   engine lubricating oil , can not choose and know about engine lubricating oil correctly. As we know, about vehicle diesel engine oil, we should choose different grades of oil according to different types of diesel engines and different opera...

On What Principle Does An Alternator Work

An alternator is a mechanical device that converts other forms of energy into electrical energy.   Alternator   is generally composed of rotor, stator, rectifier and end cover. The rotor is composed of rotor core (or magnetic pole) winding, guard ring, center ring, slip ring, fan and rotating shaft. The function of the rotor is to generate a magnetic field. Installed inside the stator. The stator consists of stator core, wire windings, engine base, and other structural parts that fix these parts. The function of the stator is to generate alternating current. The principle is that the stator and the rotor of the generator are connected by the bearing and the end cover, so that the rotor can rotate in the stator, and does the movement of cutting magnetic line, thus generating the induction potential, which is led out through the terminal and connected in the loop, and the current is generated. There are many forms of generators, but their working principles...
