For most types of facilities, generators are typically the last line of defense when there is a utility failure or a catastrophic event. Their importance is even more significant in health care, data ...

Article 445 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) provides the electrical installation requirements that apply specifically to generators. A generator is basically a motor that is driven by a motive ...

What happens if you run an electric motor backwards? In short, it stops being a motor and becomes a generator. Following this principle, researchers at the University of Southampton have built a new ...

SCHENECTADY, NY, July 29, 2003 — General Electric reports that a demonstration model for a new, High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) generator has been successfully tested. Building on GE’s ...

Opera software for motor and generator design lets users define complex behaviors such as friction, load, and speed-dependent torques. April 24, 2008 Multiphysics capabilities show the effects of ...

All design engineers know it well: there is hardly any time left until tape-out, but the amount of work that remains is not decreasing as fast as the deadline is approaching. The intricate schematic ...

The first modern wind turbines designed for bulk electricity generation came online gradually throughout the 80s and early 90s. By today’s standards these turbines are barely recognizable. They were ...
