Generator Consist of

The parts of a electrical generator can be expressed in either mechanical terms or electrical terms. Although distinctly separate, these two sets of terminology are frequently used interchangeably or in combinations that include one mechanical term and one electrical term. This causes great confusion when working with compound machines such as a brushless alternator or when conversing with people who are used to working on a machine that is configured differently than the machines that the speaker is used to.

Mechanical Part consist of Rotor, The rotating part of an alternator, generator, dynamo or motor. Stator, The stationary part of an alternator, generator, dynamo or motor.

Electrical Part consist of Armature, The power-producing component of an alternator, generator, dynamo or motor. The armature can be on either the rotor or the stator. Field, The magnetic field component of an alternator, generator, dynamo or motor. The field can be on either the rotor or the stator and can be either an electromagnet or a permanent magnet.
