A __________ generator system is a combination of an electrical generator and a mechanical engine mounted together to form a single piece of equipment.
A Standby Generator System is a combination of an electrical generator and a mechanical engine mounted together to form a single piece of equipment. The generator provides power to essential appliances and equipment in the event of a power outage. Standby Generator Systems are usually powered by gasoline, diesel, natural gas, or propane, and they are designed to be able to be activated quickly in the event of an emergency.
Question # 6
AC is more easily distributed than DC. This is because:
A.
AC can be transmitted using lighter wires.
B.
DC needs wires to be totally insulated, while AC wires can be bare, hung from insulator on pylons.
C.
AC can be transformed from a low voltage to a high voltage and back again with a transformer. DC cannot.
D.
Wires have less resistance if they are carrying AC
AC can be transformed from a low voltage to a high voltage and back again with a transformer, while DC cannot. This makes it easier to distribute AC electricity over long distances and is why it is used more widely than DC electricity. A and B are also true, as wires carrying AC can be bare and don't need to be totally insulated. Wires have less resistance when carrying AC electricity, which is why it is more efficient than DC.
