How are generators rated?

  1. Watts at rated frequency

  2. Amperes at rated voltage

  3. Volts at rated speed

  4. Ohms at rated load

The correct answer is: Amperes at rated voltage

Generators are typically rated in terms of amperes at rated voltage. This rating indicates the maximum current output the generator can provide at its rated voltage without overloading or causing damage to the electrical system. It is crucial for technicians to understand these ratings to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the electrical systems in aircraft. The other options (A, C, D) are not typically used to rate generators and do not accurately represent how generators are rated.
