How much voltage does the power station generator produce

How many volts does a generator need?

A domestic user needs electricity at 230 volts (120 volts in US). Even though the different types of generators produce voltages at certain standard levels, at the connection point to grid they all have to have the same equivalent voltage. Phase: Large electric power generators produce 3-phase electric power.

How many volts does a power station produce?

Power stations produce electricity at something like 14,000 volts, but they use transformers (voltage increasing or decreasing devices) to "step up" the voltage by anything from three to fifty times, to roughly 44,000–750,000 volts, before sending it down power lines to the towns and cities where it'll be consumed.

How does a generator create power?

The current causes a voltage drop across the generator's internal resistance. The voltage you get out of the whole generator is its internal voltage minus this voltage drop. the current thru the generator causes a torque opposing the shaft rotation. This is how generators don't magically create power. The input power is torque times rotation speed.

What size generator should a power plant have?

Generators for a power plant serving an installation will be in the range from 4160 volts to 13.8 kV to suit the size of the unit and primary distribution system voltage. Generators in this size range will be offered by the manufacturer in accordance with its design, and it would be difficult and expensive to get a different voltage rating.
