All Types of Generator, Dynamo, Alternator Symbols

Hi, in this article we are going to see all types of generator symbols, Dynamo symbol, and Alternator symbol. Electric generators, dynamos, or alternators are devices that can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. According to the nature of the power supply, construction, connection, and internal circuitry, there are different types of generators are available. Having a background in electrical engineering, you must know the basic symbols of generator. Because the generator is a very important machine in electrical engineering.

Electric Generator Symbol

Here, you can see the generic symbol of generator that is used in most of the electrical wiring diagrams, circuit diagrams, etc.

AC Generator Symbol

AC Generators are those that generate electrical power supply alternating in nature. AC generators are used for emergency lighting purposes, in rural areas, hotels, shops, etc. Here, you can see the symbol of AC Generator.

Dynamo or DC Generator Symbol

DC Generator also known as Dynamo. You can see the symbol of Dynamo below. DC generators are those that generate electricity directly or constantly in nature. DC generators are heavy and more complex in construction than AC Generators. DC Generators are used in measuring instruments, controlling instruments, etc.
