How does an Alternator Work ?

This video gives an elaborated explanation on working of Alternators/ AC Generators with help of animation. Alternators are also referred as Synchronous generators. Along with construction details of generator, functions of slip rings, armature coils, Automatic Voltage regulator (AVR) and pole core are also well explained here.

You are an asset to humanity by taking your time to create videos like these to educate the rest. God bless you

Man you can't get these feels while reading the books and it's pretty hard to imagine thanks for animation now it is easy to imagine.

You have explained physically and practically showing all aspects. This is very help to realize the students how Generator works. This is real education.

Dear god, you guys are like saints. I understood Alternator better from this one video than my professors 100 minute lectures. My basic understandings became very clear and I did the maths from my text book. I got an exam on this tomorrow and hopefully I will ace it. :)

I wish youtube was there during my days at school.

This channel is the most helpful I've ever studied with !!

The best video of generator illustration I ever seen, this video really helps a lot for me to understand how a 3-phase generator works. Thanks!!!

You are a legend,
Many times I read but can't understand if understand something will forgot in two days, you are made me understand in easy way. Thank god(lesics)

[abiaraymond]

Very good explanation on the principles of an alternator, thank you.

[RutulPatel]

This is literally the best video available to understand working of alternators

[rifaturmil]

this 5 minute video explain shit better that my professor with his 50 minutes of head torment

Just a 16 year old reading these comments and doing his project. Also i have never seen an alternator in my life but thanks for the basic understanding

you have saved my grades for the first year of uni! These videos are absolutely fantastic and so clear and easy to understand! thank you sir so so so very much

[AbuTaher-ehis]

very clear and concise explanation within 5 minutes.

I am an engineer of electronics. Spontaneously it came into my mind and heart that it's my duty to like and appreciate your fabulous work( i am little busy and lazy too ). truly you made a fine video.

Finally understand the exciter purpose in this video. TY

I think the poles are labeled incorrectly, as typically a N pole should have magnetic flux lines going outward and inward for the S pole (the flux line arrows appear correct based upon the DC flow through the rotor coils). And the current should be maximum when a rotor pole is directly across from a stator winding, not when the winding is in between the poles. Then use "Flemings right-hand rule for generators" to get the direction of the current. As best I can tell the current directional arrows might also be backwards, but it's hard to tell with the current shown as zero at the incorrect time. Otherwise it's a pretty nice animation.

phenominally detailed video. Absolutely loved it! Thank you guys SO MUCH
