Question
State types of commercial generators.
✓
Answer
→Electrical energy is generated commercially in commercial generators. Different types of generators are as follows.
(i) Hydro-electric generator :
→The mechanical energy required for rotation of armature in this generator is obtained from water falling from a height. ex dams.
(ii) Thermal generators :
→Water is heated to produce steam using coal or other sources. The steam at high pressure produces rotation of armature.
(iii) Nuclear power generators :
→Instead of coal, if nuclear fuel is used then such generators are called Nuclear power generators.
