The rest of them, such as laptops or phones, need an AC adaptor for converting AC to DC form. The advantages of AC over DC made it a more regular global choice. In what follows, a simple review of AC and DC and their advantages are summarized:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It is easy to step down or up the voltage in AC lines by using transformers.<\/li>\n<li>AC is easy to use and has economical transmission for electrical power.<\/li>\n<li>Using transformers saves a lot of money for suppliers and the consumer and reduces pollution, as power plants need less fuel and produce less pollution.<\/li>\n<li>AC motors have less maintenance cost.<\/li>\n<li>By using a circuit breaker, we can interrupt the current easily.<\/li>\n<li>We can transmit a 3-phase current and voltage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Parts_of_AC_Generators\"><\/span><strong>Parts of AC Generators<br \/>\n<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ac generators include many parts and the rotor and the stator are recognized as the main parts. AC generators can be used in many different applications and can be found in all industries. Because of their versatility and power ranges, they are part of the most advanced systems in modern systems. Parts of generators are:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Field<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This part produces the magnetic flux in the presence of the voltage. It has many coils working together and has the responsibility of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Excitation_(magnetic)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>excitation<\/em><\/a> in the generator.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Armature<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The voltage source in the generators is the armature, and it is because of the magnetic flux in the system. This part consists of a battery and wires to carry the full load voltage and the current in the system.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prime Mover<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The force or power in the generators, which is the source of physical energy, is called the prime mover. Turbines in the gas, hydraulic power plant, and wind harvesting systems are examples of the prime mover.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rotor<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The rotating part of the generator is called the \u201crotor,\u201d as is implied by the name. This part rotates because of the prime mover and can be the armature or the field, depending on the design and applications.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Stator<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It works with the rotor and is the stationary part of the designed system. It can be the armature or the field, the same as the rotor.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Slip Rings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Slip rings are electrical connectors in the rotor for transferring power to and from it. It is insulated from the shaft while bound to the rotor windings. This electric connection to the rotor is made by brushes.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Shaft Bearings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Prime mover connects to the generators by a shaft, which uses many bearings accurately positioned in the system.

Hydro and wind turbines, power plants, and other energy harvesting systems use AC generators to produce alternating currents for cities and facilities. AC is appropriate for the transmission of electrical energy long-distance, and as a result, AC generators are the essential part of each power source.<\/p>\n<p>Power loss in power transmission is a major problem that should be solved. There are kilometers of transmission lines, and due to the resistance of the cable, power loss shows itself by heating in cables, so we have a lot of power loss in the transmission lines. AC and transformers include key roles in this process.<\/p>\n<p>Power loss shows itself by a lower voltage at the end of transmission (cities, facilities, etc.). AC can be transmitted easily by using transformers. Power loss is proportional to the <span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\"> I^{2}<\/span>, and we should reduce the current in the lines.
