Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a 1-phase a 3-phase generator?
A 1-phase generator produces a single electric current. A 3-phase generator produces an alternating current with the same frequency as a 1-phase generator but can carry three times more power. If you’d like to learn more about which option is right for you, contact us today!
What is a 3-phase generator?
A 3-phase generator provides power through 3 sequences of current that run simultaneously. They require more substantial underlying voltage than a single-phase generator but will give a continuous stream of power as a result.
What are the disadvantages of a single-phase generator?
A single-phase generator handles less power and also produces more noise than a 3-phase generator.
Do generators produce AC or DC?
Generators are capable of producing both AC and DC power.
