VOLT
The unit of elecro-motive force.That electromotive force
which, when steadily applied to a conductor whose
resistance is one ohm, will produce a current of one ampere.
VOLTAGE
Electrical potential or potential difference expressed in volts.
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
A component which automatically maintains proper
generator voltage by controlling the amount of (DC)
excitation to the rotor.
WATT
Unit of electrical power. (In DC), equals volts times amperes.
(In AC) equals effective volts times effective amps times
power factor times a consistent dependent on the number
of phases. 1 kilowatt = 1,000 watts.
WINDING
All the coils of a generator. Stator winding consists of a
number stator coils and their interconnections. Rotor
windings consist of all windings and connections on the
