Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #89 (Set 3)

By what means is voltage and current generated by modern revolving field AC generators brought out from the alternator enclosure to the connected switch board?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — direct connections from the stator

Modern revolving field AC generators produce high power directly in the stationary armature windings (stator), allowing heavy leads to run straight to the switchboard without requiring high-current sliding brushes or collector rings.
