Presentation Transcript

  1. Generating Alternating Current Industrial Technology Electrical Systems

  2. Alternating Current Alternating current is electrical current that is constantly changing in amplitude(voltage) and direction at regular intervals

  3. Generating Alternating Current Coiled wire is rotated 360 degrees inside a powerful magnet, which induces electrical current in the wire.

  4. Generator The faster the coil is rotated, the more current is generated No current flow – maximum voltage Maximum current flow – no voltage

  5. Sinusoidal (Sine) wave RMS – Root Mean Square • Represents 360 degrees of rotation • Amplitude positive and negative is voltage • Time is represented horizontally (frequency)

  6. Alternating Current • Voltage can be stepped-up (increased) or stepped-down (decreased) very easily via a transformer
