Energy for the operation of most electrically operated equipment in an aircraft is supplied by a generator which may be of the direct current (d.c.) or alternating current (a.c.) type. In this chapter, we are concerned with generators serving as the source of primary d.c. supply for an aircraft electrical installation and before going into constructional and operating details of some typical machines, a review of relevant.
fundamental current-generating principles will be made.
