Synchronous Generator

A synchronous generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, commonly used in power plants. It operates by using a rotating part, called the rotor, which turns inside a stationary part called the stator. As the rotor spins, it creates a magnetic field that induces a steady flow of electricity in the stator windings. The rotation speed is synchronized with the frequency of the electrical grid, ensuring consistent power output. Essentially, it acts like a sophisticated magnet that, when spun, generates electrical current used to supply homes and businesses.
