Cycle: One complete reversal of alternating current of voltage, from zero to a positive maximum to zero to a negative maximum
back to zero. The number of cycles per second is the frequency, expressed in Hertz (HZ).
Diode: A solid state device which allows current to pass in one direction only. Since it allows only one half cycle of an alternating cur-
rent pass, its output will be unidirectional and it may be considered a rectifying element.
Direct Current (DC): An electric current flows in one direction only. DC is produced by chemical action (i.e. storage battery) or by
electromagnetic induction.
Dynamo: A machine for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy by electromagnetic induction – a generator.
Electro-Motive Force (EMF): The force which causes current to flow in a conductor, in other words, the voltage potential.
Full Power Outlet: Enables you to draw the full power of the generator out of one outlet.
Generator: A general name for a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy may be direct
current (DC) or alternating current (AC).
Ground: A connection, intentional or accidental, between an electrical circuit and the earth or some conduction body serving in the
place of the earth.
Idle Control: A system that controls the idle speed of the engine in direct relation to the electrical load.
Ignition Coil: A device used to supply DC voltage to the spark plugs.
Magneto: An alternator with permanent magnets used to generate current for ignition in an internal combustion engine.
Ohm: Unit of electrical resistance. One volt will cause a current of one flow through a resistance of one ohm.
Phase: The uniform periodic change in amplitude or magnitude of an alternating current. Three phase alternating current consists
of three different sine wave current flows, different in phase by 120 degrees from each other.
Power Transfer System: A system to safely wire your generator to your home’s electrical system.
Rated Speed: Revolutions per minute at which the set is designed to operate.
Rated Voltage: The rated voltage of an engine generator set is the voltage at which it is designed to operate.
Rear Bearing Carrier: The casting which houses the rotor bearing which supports the rotor shaft.
Rectifier: A device that converts AC to DC.
Relay: An electrically operated switch usually used in control circuits and whose contacts are considered low amperage, compared
to a contactor.
Resistance: Opposition to the flow of current.
Rotor: The rotating element of a generator.
Single Phase: An AC load, or source of power normally having only two input terminals if a load or two output terminals is a source.
Stator: The stationary part of a generator.
Vibration Mount: A rubber device located between the engine or generator and the cradle to minimize vibration.
Volt: The unit of electromotive force .That electromotive force which when steadily applied to a conductor whose resistance is one
ohm will produce a current of one ampere.
Voltage: Electrical potential difference expressed in volts.
Voltage Regulator: A component which automatically maintains proper generator voltage by controlling the amount of
DC excitation to the rotor.
Watt: Unit of electrical power. DC equals volts times amperes. AC equals effective volts times effective amps times power factor
times a consistent dependent on the number of phases. 1 kilowatt – 1,000 watts.
Winding: All the coils of a generator. Stator winding consists of a number stator coils and their interconnections. Rotor windings
consist of all windings and connections on the rotor poles.
