Diesel generator combines the principles of the electric generator and the diesel engine to produce electricity. It uses a mechanism called the diesel Genset to convert mechanical energy to electric energy, which is done by using alternators. Alternators consist of rotors and stators – stators are stationary and made of electrically conductive materials that are coiled over an iron core while rotors move against this, thereby producing a magnetic field. This magnetic field induces a voltage difference between the windings of the stator. It is by using this magnetic field that diesel generators produce electricity. Why then are diesel generators the most preferred generators across the world? One reason is that these generators are capable of instantaneously transferring the power supply source to the generator in case of a power-cut. It can also shift back in the same way seamlessly. The diesel generator also provides an extensive power output range, which enables ...
