Why You Shouldn't Wait Until Your Generator Breaks Down

It’s safe to say that we all like to take our lives into our own hands. If something needs to be done, we do it ourselves. We don’t want to wait until someone else does it for us, so we just do it ourselves. This same philosophy  can be applied to generator repairs and maintenance, but like many other things in life, this isn’t always the best course of action. Understanding generator operations A generator is a device that converts external mechanical energy into electrical energy and produces it. It is important to understand that generators do not actually "produce" electrical energy. Instead, it uses the input mechanical energy to transfer the charge present in the winding wire through an external electrical circuit. This charge flow is the output current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by thinking of a generator as analogous to a water pump. The water pump makes the water flow, but doesn't actually "create" the water flowing thr
