Generic Symbol of Generator

                                                  

This symbol represents a simple generator. A generator converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Low Frequency AC Generator

                                                         

Such type of generator generates an alternating current with frequency in very low range as low as 8 Hz to 40 Hz. They are mostly used in traction power system with frequency of 16.7 Hz. Low frequency generators are beneficial for power transmission over long range.

Medium Frequency AC Generator

                                                         

The alternating current generated by this generator falls in the medium domestic range of 50 to 60 Hz.

High Frequency AC Generator

.

                                                         

These generators generate the AC with frequency ranging above 100 Hz. As the loss in power transmission increase with frequency, they are used in a confined building. They 400Hz power systems are used in military equipment, spacecraft, and aircraft and server rooms.

Ideal Current Generator

.

                                                              

This symbol represents an ideal current generator. The current generated by an ideal current generator is constant while the voltage may vary.
