We dive into the world of marine generators and explore various types and their installation requirements. We also look at ways to maximize the efficiency of a generator by combining it with inverters and a large battery bank.
The videos for this module are still a work in progress. But you can access all the content in the form of lecture notes.

In this intro-lesson we explore the issue of carbon monoxide poisoning, the station waggon effect, and why portable gasoline generators are not a good choice for on-board use.

We get to know the difference between synchronous and asynchronous generators and various other selection criteria.

We learn how to install and integrate a generator into a boat's electrical system. If properly integrated, modern technology can help dramatically improve the efficiency of onboard generators.

There are a few typical issues that can arise with the electrical side of generators. We learn what to do if voltage or frequency issues occur or the generator's output breaks down.
