  1. Engineering Technology Division Power Plant Construction and QA/QC Section 4.1 AC Generators and Generator Protection

  2. Section 4.1 AC Generators and Generator Protection Overview • Generators are the production point for electricity • Both Alternating and Direct Current is generated • Alternating Current travels both directions • Direct Current travels in only one direction • DC was developed first in the mid – 1870 • DC has a limited travel distance – requires high current • AC has “no” distance limits in comparison • Prime movers are needed to turn generators • Prime movers are geared to match generator design • 99.2% of the power generated today is AC

  3. Section 4.1 AC Generators and Generator Protection AC vs. DC
