To produce a steady flow of unidirectional, or direct, current from such a device, it is necessary to provide a means of reversing the current flow outside the generator once during each revolution. In older machines this reversal is accomplished by means of a commutator, a split metal ring mounted on the shaft of the armature. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (Article Admin) Wed, 07 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.heavymachineryinfo.com/articles/260/1/Diesel-Generator-Basics/Diesel-Generator-Basics.html Generators can run on several different types of fuel.

They’re designed to be used for camping, hunting, and on remote construction sites: places where there is no regular electrical service. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (Article Admin) Wed, 07 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.heavymachineryinfo.com/articles/257/1/Portable-Generators-Basics/Portable-Generators-Basics.html Portable generators are used to provide power in places that don’t have any, such as construction sites or other remote locations. In a pinch, they can also be used to supply power to a home or business during a power outage, just like their larger cousins, standby generators. However, unlike standby generators, portable generators are designed to be used for short periods of time – only a few hours at a stretch. As a result, they tend to be much smaller and less expensive. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (Article Admin) Wed, 07 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.heavymachineryinfo.com/articles/256/1/Sizing-power-generators/Sizing-power-generators.html The right "size" electric power generators provide just enough wattage to operate all your essential equipment. Too few watts and you can overwork the generator, potentially damaging it and anything plugged into it. Too many and you'll waste money on the initial purchase and on the fuel to run it. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (Article Admin) Wed, 07 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.heavymachineryinfo.com/articles/255/1/Used-generators-can-save-you-money/Used-generators-can-save-you-money.html Buying used generators can be a smart way to provide backup electrical power for your business without breaking the bank. Standby generators, by definition, are only used during power outages, so you may find 10- or 20-year old models with only a few hundred hours of use or less. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (Article Admin) Wed, 07 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.heavymachineryinfo.com/articles/254/1/Generator-manufacturers/Generator-manufacturers.html All generator manufacturers build their electric generators with two main components. A motor burns fuel – usually propane, natural gas, gasoline, or diesel – to supply power, and a generator head turns that power into electricity. Together, the motor and the generator head comprise a standard generator. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (Article Admin) Wed, 07 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.heavymachineryinfo.com/articles/101/1/Tips-About-Electric-Trolling-Motors/Tips-About-Electric-Trolling-Motors.html Electric trolling motors are being found more and more often onboard many fishing boats. Boaters are discovering the many benefits electric motors have to offer. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (Article Admin) Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.heavymachineryinfo.com/articles/100/1/The-Ins-And-Outs-Of-Diesel-Generators/The-Ins-And-Outs-Of-Diesel-Generators.html Generators are used for electric power generation. Two categories of diesel generators are basically available in market- one is portable generator and the other is standby generator. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (Article Admin) Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.heavymachineryinfo.com/articles/99/1/Generators--The-Power-of-Generating-Power/Generators--The-Power-of-Generating-Power.html Few Doctors are performing a critical operation in the Hospital and there is sudden loss of power...

During power outages or in locations where plugging into the electric grid is not an option, a portable power generator can come in real handy. Unfortunately it also can be a very bad neighbor due to the noise factor. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (Article Admin) Sat, 27 Jan 2007 00:00:00 -0600
