A generator is an electrical device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy using the principle of electromagnetic induction. Generators are used as primary or backup power sources in residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities.

Working Principle

Generators work based on Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction — when a conductor moves through a magnetic field, it induces a current.

  • The prime mover (engine or turbine) turns the rotor (magnet) inside the stator (winding), generating electricity.

  • Output: AC or DC power, depending on the design.

Types of Generators

1. By Power Source

TypeFuelUsage
Diesel Generator (DG Set)DieselMost common – backup or prime power
Gas GeneratorNatural gas, biogas, LPGCleaner fuel, continuous use
Petrol GeneratorGasolinePortable, small-scale use
Hybrid GeneratorSolar + Diesel / BatteryEnergy-efficient systems

2. By Phase

  • Single Phase Generator (230 V) – for residential / small commercial

  • Three Phase Generator (400 V or 415 V) – for industrial / heavy loads

3. By Portability

  • Stationary (Silent / Soundproof)

  • Portable / Mobile (with wheels or trailer)
