What are the three parts of a generator?

The genset automation control has experienced three stages: Relay control, PLC (programmable logic controller) control and intelligent controller control.

From the end of the 20th century (after 1995), the intelligent controller control consisting of microcomputers and electronic components was gradually introduced, and the complicated peripheral circuits were integrated into one module, which greatly simplified the control circuit and improved the reliability.

The current controllers are designed to be closer to smarter and more humane. There are also some generators that produce small gasoline engines, which are practical and convenient.

Diesel generator sets generally consist of three parts: the engine, the generator and the controller.

The engine provides power, the generator converts the mechanical energy of the engine into electrical energy, the controller is the brain part of the generator set, which not only provides engine start-up, shutdown, data measurement, data display and fault protection, but also provides power measurement of the generator, battery display and battery protection.
