Industrial application of D.C. Generators

I.Read and learn the following words.

Steel making – виробництво сталі
Of small capacities – маленьких потужностей
Are welding – дугове зварювання
The supply comes – енергія поступає до
Arc welding – арочне зварювання

II. Read and translate the text.

D.C. generators are used for electrolytic processes such as elies is electroplating. We know that d.c. generators are employed in certain manufacturing processes, such as steel making.

The d.c. generator of small capacities is used for various special purposes such as arc welding, automobile generators, train lightning system. It also finds extensive use in connection with communication systems.

For supplying direct-current power network the supply comes first from an alternating current source and is converted to direct current by synchronous convertors or motor generator sets.

III. Answer the following questions.

1. Why d. c. generators are used?
2. Where are d. c. generators employed?
3. For what purposes are the d. c. generators used?
4. Does it find extensive use in connection with communication systems?
5. D.C. generators are used for electrolytic processes, aren’t they?

IV. Read and translate the following word-combinations from English into Ukrainian.

Synchronous convertors, communication systems, direct current, alternating current source, motor generator sets, train lightning system, automobile generators, welding, direct current generator, alternating current generator, electrolytic processes, certain manufacturing processes, electroplating, to employ, to convert, arc welding.

V. Continue the sentences.

1. Direct current generators are employed _________________________________________
2. The direct current generator is used ____________________________________________
3. The supply comes first from an alternating current source and _______________________
