Ama-Generator angamadivayisi emishini aguqula ezinye izinhlobo zamandla zibe amandla kagesi. Baqhutshwa yiTurbine Yamanzi, i-Steam Turbine, injini yeDiesel noma eminye imishini yamandla futhi baguqule amandla akhiqizwe ukugeleza kwamanzi, ukugeleza komoya, ukufumeka kwamafutha noma ukufumeka kwamafutha kube namandla kagesi adluliselwa kugesi.
Ama-Generator asetshenziswa kabanzi ekukhiqizweni kwezimboni nakwezolimo, ukuzivikela ezweni lonke, isayensi kanye nobuchwepheshe kanye nokuphila kwansuku zonke. Ama-Generator eza ngezindlela eziningi, kepha izimiso zawo zokusebenza zisuselwa emthethweni wokungeniswa kwe-electromagnetic kanye nomthetho wamandla we-electromagnetic. Ngakho-ke, umgomo ojwayelekile wokwakhiwa kwawo ngukuthi: ngezinto ezifanelekile zezibuthe kanye nezinto ezivuthayo zokwakha umjikelezo we-magnetic wokungeniswa kwamandla kanye nesekethe, ukuze kukhiqize amandla okuguqulwa kwamandla, ukufeza inhloso yokuguqulwa kwamandla. I-generator imvamisa yakhiwa i-stator, i-rotor, ukuqeda isigaxa nokuthwala.
Isitebhisi siqukethe umnyombo we-stator, umoya osongelwa ngocingo, uhlaka nezinye izingxenye ezihlelekile ezilungisa lezi zingxenye
I-rotor yakhiwa ngesisekelo se-rotor (noma i-magnetic, i-choke ye-magnetic) i-winding, indandatho yokuqapha, indandatho yesikhungo, indandatho ye-slip, i-fan kanye nomshini wokujikeleza, njll.
Isembozo se-Bearing ne-End sizoba yi-generator, i-rotor ixhumeke ndawonye, ukuze i-rotor ingakwazi ukujikeleza umugqa wamandla kazibuthe, ngaleyo ndlela ikhiqize amandla okufakwayo, ngokuholwa ku-loop, kuzokhiqiza okwamanje
