How to Restore Residual Magnetism in a Generator: 3 Simple Ways + Videos

Residual magnetism refers to the magnetic field that remains in the generator’s electromagnets even after the excitation power is turned off. This remnant magnetism acts as a foundation for generating electricity when the generator is operational. When it comes to the production of optimal voltage output from generators, the residual magnetism is really important in…

How to Bypass Generator AVR: Complete Guide

Generators are prone to faults, and one of the most common problems that occur with them is a failure in their Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR). AVR is an electronic device that controls the output voltage of the generator, ensuring that it remains stable and within acceptable limits.  But when the AVR fails, the output voltage…
