ABSTRACT
AC Generators are useful appliances that supply electrical power during a
power outage from national grid and prevent discontinuity of daily activities
or disruption of business operations. Generators are available in different
electrical and physical configurations for use in different applications. This
work develops a design, Construction and Characterize fuelless AC Generator
that generates electrical energy from an alternator interfaced with an inverter.
The prime mover is DC electric motor which was connected to the alternator
armature shaft. The DC electric motor was powered by rechargeable
24V/75Ah battery, and as it rotates it provides energy to the alternator
resulting in generation of AC voltage. Part of the output voltage was rectified
to provide 12V for recharging of the battery for it not to be drained. The other
part was connected to which was connected to an inverter to provide 220V to
the output circuit breaker for the utility load. A control panel was also in
cooperated for monitoring and regulation for output voltage. The results were
obtained using multi-meter to read the output voltage at different load
conditions and also measure the voltage output from different components of
the control circuit. This gave stable 220V output voltage which was connected
to load.
