YANAN Brushless Alternator

Applications

Alternators are used in a wide range of industrial applications:

- In industry, alternators are installed in hydroelectric power plants to convert the turbines'' rotary movement into electricity. 

- Alternators are also used on generator sets to convert the energy created by the diesel or gasoline engine into electrical energy.

- Ships use marine alternators to produce electricity on-board.

Technologies

Alternators are constructed using a rotating magnetic core (rotor) and a stationary wire winding (stator). As the rotor turns, it creates a rotating magnetic field which induces an alternating voltage in the stator winding.

How to choose

When selecting an alternator be sure to consider certain technical specifications such as:

- the number of poles (2-pole, 4-pole, etc.)

- input rotational speed (RPM)

- single-phase or three-phase AC voltage

- power output range (kVA)

- engine fuel type (diesel, gasoline)
