DC Voltage
The first alternator to produce alternating current was
Dynamo Electric Generator
It used to change the voltage from low to a high level of current.
Transformer
It’s a machine constructed to rotate a magnetic field around a set of stationary wire coils with turning of a shaft
AC Alternator
It’s a voltage or current that changes polarity or direction, respectively, over time.
AC / Alternating Current
Voltage or current that maintains constant polarity or direction, respectively, over time.
DC / Direct Current
The conversion of alternation to direct current is accomplished by a circuit referred to as
Rectifier
There is an effect of electromagnetic known as
Mutual Induction
On the ground external AC power and/or _________, usually providing AC
APU / Auxiliary Power Unit
If we have two mutually inductive coils and we energize one coil with AC, we will create an AC voltage in the other coil. When used as such, this device is known as a
