Transfer power from the Generator to Your House Generators rely on the principles of electromagnetism to produce electricity. Essentially, if two magnets are placed so that the opposite poles are adjacent to one another and a conductor is passed through the magnetic field between them, a voltage is generated within the conductor. The prime mover of the Generator set will be a diesel engine and the prime mover will be coupled to an alternator (single phase for small units). Generator sets of higher rating have to be started with battery starters. Diesel Generator sets of smaller rating can be started by cranking as well. Large residential buildings need the use of backup generators in order to operate elevators, fire systems, and critical services during emergencies. However, these backup generators are usually made to operate independently of the building’s main electrical equipment, and must be separately activated in an emergency. The technology exists today to tie these same systems Less
