Automobile generators are the main power of the car, its function is to operate normally when the engine (idling above), to all electrical equipment (except Starter) power supply, while charging the battery. Classification generators usually have the following three:

1. Press the power conversion mode classification

By conversion of electrical energy can be divided into alternators and DC generators into two categories.

Alternator is divided into two kinds of synchronous generators and asynchronous generators. Synchronous generators and synchronous generator is divided into two kinds of salient pole salient pole synchronous generator. Modern power stations are the most commonly used synchronous generator, asynchronous generators rarely used.

AC generators can be divided into two kinds of single-phase three-phase generator and the generator. Three-phase generator output voltage is 380V, single-phase generator output voltage is 220V.

2. Press excitation mode classification

Press excitation can be divided into brush and brushless excitation generator excitation generator categories

Brush excitation generator excitation way for him excitation type, brushless excitation generator excitation mode is a self-excited. He fairing excitation type generators are on the generator stator and rectifier unit is self-excitation generator on the rotor turbine.

3. Press Powered classification

Driving power generator in the form of a variety of common power machine are:

(1) wind turbines

Wind generator is to rely on the wind driven generator rotor, resulting in current; this generator without consuming additional energy, is a non-polluting generators;

(2) hydroelectric

Hydropower is the use of the water drop, generating power to drive a generator, but also the use of natural resources, green power generation equipment, also known as hydro

(3) Fuel Generators

Fuel generators rely on diesel or gasoline combustion to produce power to drive turbines. The use of small fuel generators can play a role in an emergency. Experience a power outage, you can start fuel generators to maintain normal operation.
