Hello everyone

it is my understanding that all generators or alternators run at 50 or 60 hz speed so what is the reason for the diffrent energy levels required to run different sizes of generators? does the increased generator size require more power to run at the same speed or is it also related to magnetic field of bigger generators.

thanks in advance

Since we are already going down this road...

Allot (single word): verb meaning to divide a quantity of something among several recipients; to portion out an allotment.

A lot (two words): a larger quantity, as in "Thanks a lot." One could even say "Thanks a lot for my allotment!"

Alot: no such word, but increasingly more and more common with text format communications, much to the dismay of many English teachers (and their relatives).

Size doesn't matter...
Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, buddy. I've been told it matters alot, followed by "Thanks alot!"
