Generators & Generating Sets

About the Generators & Generating Sets heading in Yellow™

Look for information on generators and generating sets under this Yellow™ heading. Generators and generating sets are devices that produce and convert energy.  If the conversion is from mechanical into electrical energy, the device is called a motor; if the conversion is from electrical into mechanical energy; the device is called a generator. Both conversions become possible through the electromagnetic process. Search with Yellow™ for more information on generators and generating sets.

Generators and generating sets, depending upon their purpose and use, may be as handy as a small power kit for home use or as large as a rectangular power barge for industrial use. Most homes in Australia have portable generators for back-up power. Natural disasters such as storms can wipe out the power supply of any community and a generator can be very useful during these types of situations.

However, it is necessary to take certain precautions while using generators. First, portable generators must never be used indoors. Carbon monoxide emitted by generators is harmful and should not be inhaled. It can prove dangerous. Enclosed spaces like garages, carports, basements, even if well ventilated, are not suitable for storing portable generators. This is because the build-up of carbon monoxide in such spaces is inevitable and potentially perilous. Moreover, carbon monoxide can not be smelled or seen; it is a sneaky, lethal poison that could incapacitate or kill a human being. This is why it is very important to observe safety rules when one is using a generator at home. Keeping the generator away from any windows and vents opening onto the house and always keeping the generator dry to avoid electrocution are the two best measures to observe for the sake of safety.
