Alternators and Generators
1. Alternators vs. DC Generators
Alternators produce a usable voltage level at lower RPMs than DC generators because alternators have more field poles.
2. Delta Wound Three-Phase Alternator Stator
The windings wired in relation to each other in a delta-wound three-phase alternator stator are in series.
3. Generator Output
Generator output is expressed in the number of amps at rated voltage.
4. AC 43.13 Electrical System Design
The AC 43.13 suggests that the electrical system of an aircraft be designed so that when all systems are operating, no more than 80% of generator capacity can be exceeded.
5. Reverse Current Cutout Relay
The main function of a reverse current cutout relay in a generator system is preventing motoring of... Continue reading "Aircraft Electrical Systems" »
