What is a PMA generator?
Permanent Magnet Generators (PMG), also called Permanent Magnet Alternators (PMA), use the magnetic field of the rotor to provide a stable, reliable power source. Georator’s NoBrush® 400 Hz alternators provide excellent voltage stability, eliminating the need for further regulation in most applications.
What is a PMA alternator?
A permanent magnet alternator (also called PMA, permanent magnet generator, PMG or magneto) relies on the magnetic field generated by a permanent magnet to convert mechanical energy into electrical power. It can generate AC current, with which it can power the whole engine and charge the battery.
How do we use magnets to produce electricity in generators and alternators?
Magnetic fields can be used to make electricity Moving a magnet around a coil of wire, or moving a coil of wire around a magnet, pushes the electrons in the wire and creates an electrical current. Electricity generators essentially convert kinetic energy (the energy of motion) into electrical energy.
Do alternators have permanent magnets?
A Permanent Magnet Alternator is an electric generator which is used to convert mechanical energy to AC electrical energy. The use of permanent magnet in place of field coil is a distinct new process which has grown in popularity over the years.
Does an alternator have permanent magnets?
The excitation of the permanent magnet alternator or inductor is made by permanent magnets bonded to the rotor.
Which type of magnet is used in generator?
The electricity going through the wire produces a magnetic field. While the electric current is flowing, the core acts as a strong magnet. Electromagnets are used in many generators and power plants.
What is a permanent magnet alternator?
Permanent magnet alternators provide the ideal solution to your application. By matching the power and speed of the generator to that of the prime mover, the power system becomes more efficient. No gearboxes are needed.
