In this article we will discuss about the measure difference
between AC and DC generator. We will discuss about the construction and working
principle difference between both . Basicaly ac and dc generator both convert mechanical
power into electrical power and work on principle of faraday law of
electromagnetic induction.
Difference between AC and DC generator
AC generator |
DC generator |
1. In this type generator ,
the current is flow through a coil
|
In this type generator, The current is not flow through the coil.
|
2. It convert mechanical power into AC electrical power , it work on principle of electromagnetic
induction
|
It convert mechanical power into DC electrical power, it is also work
on principle of electromagnetic induction.
|
3. AC generator generates AC electrical power.
|
DC generator generates dc electrical power.
|
It have two commutators .
|
It have only one commutator.
|
4. The AC generator produces variable output voltage in term of
amplitude and time. For some instance, it have a normal frequency of 60HZ .
In India it is 50HZ.
|
The DC generator produces constant output voltage in term of
amplitude and time. Its output frequency is 0HZ.
|
5. It is used to power for smaller motors and electrical appliances
at home. These appliances that can be operated using ac generator including
juicing machine, electrical mixtures, and food mixture
|
It is used for functional in supplying power to heavy motors. As like
off-grid batteries, rely and other electronic equipment.
|
6. It is less efficient for charging purpose; simply we can say that
it is less reliable and efficient for charging of various devices, as like
batteries, mobile.
|
It is more efficient for charging purpose; it is more reliable and
efficient for charging various device.
|
7. AC generator could not produce dc power
|
DC generator could produce ac power
|
8. A AC generator does not require a special mechanism to take AC
power from generator.
It is the measure difference between AC and DC generator
|
A dc generator requires a special mechanism to provide a DC output.
it can be done mechanically with an electronically with a rectifier or
commutator. Commutator is a device
which takes input in AC and gives output in DC.
|
9. In AC generator uses slip
ring and brush. Here does not use of commutator
|
In DC generator uses commutator and brushes.
It is also a constructional difference between ac and dc generator.
|
So it is some measure difference between ac and dc
generator. If you will find any mistake please comment below.
