Electric Generator - Equivalent Circuit

Equivalent Circuit

The equivalent circuit of a generator and load is shown in the diagram to the right. The generator's and parameters can be determined by measuring the winding resistance (corrected to operating temperature), and measuring the open-circuit and loaded voltage for a defined current load.

Famous quotes containing the words equivalent and/or circuit:

    “I started off rapping for people just like myself, people who were in awe of wealth and flash. It was a conversation between me and them. But now most of those who buy my records are listening in on others’ conversation. They are the aural equivalent of voyeurs, thrilled at this crazy world that has nothing to do with their experience.”
    —Ice-T [Tracy Marrow], U.S. rap musician. Observer (London, Oct. 27, 1991)

    “The Father and His angelic hierarchy
    That made the magnitude and glory there
    Stood in the circuit of a needle’s eye.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
