Motor Generators
MG sets efficiently convert electrical frequency, voltage, and phase.
These devices eliminate power spikes and brownouts and provide mains power line isolation. They also enable conversion from 1-phase to 3-phase and vice versa. We offer a great range of motor generators for hire - ask us today about finding the best motor generator for your project.
What is an Electric Motor Generator?
A motor generator is a device used to convert power to another form. It consists of an electric motor coupled to an electric generator alternator. When an electrical input current is fed into the motor, the generator creates an electrical output current. The power flowing between the two machines is a mechanical torque that provides electrical isolation and some buffering of the power between the two electrical systems.
The benefits of using an electric motor generator include:
- Eliminating power spikes and brownouts by “smoothing out” noise from the mains power supply
- Converting power from 1-phase to 3-phase or 3-phase to 1-phase with various output voltages
- Isolating electrical loads from the power supply
What Can an Electric Motor Generator be Used For?
Stabilise Voltage and Phase Matching
Electric motor generators eliminate spikes and variations in the electrical power supply lines. They can also provide phase matching between different electrical systems.
Before solid-state AC voltage regulation became cost-effective, MG sets were used to provide a variable AC voltage. The DC voltage to the generator’s armature would be varied manually or electronically to control the output voltage. When used like this, the MG set functions as an isolated variable transformer.
Clean Power and Blackout Protection
Motor generators can also be used where the input and output currents are essentially the same. In this case, the mechanical inertia of the MG set filters out transients in the input power. This makes the output electric current very clean and noise-free, allowing your equipment to ride through brief blackouts and switching transients.
Renting a Motor Generator Set from GRNZ
At GRNZ, we offer various MG sets to enable all-day, seamless power for construction sites or temporary event spaces. Renting a motor generator set is more affordable than buying one upfront, allowing you to conserve funds. Whether you’re working on a small project or need to convert industrial amounts of power, our team can recommend the MG set most suitable for your electrical power needs.
