The steam turbine generators used today produce approximately 85% of the electricity in the United States. The primary supply of electrical energy is made in three-phase synchronous generators with power ratings up to 1,500 megawatts or more. This course discusses the basics of a turbine generator including safety, terminology, design, operation, and the functions of generator protective devices.
•Identify and describe safety hazards associated with the operation of a generator
•Define the terms, "current," "voltage," "resistance," and "frequency"
•State the goal of a generator
•Identify the major components of a generator
•Describe design of a generator
•Describe basic generator operation
•Describe the function of generator protective devices
