- B.
Engine oil and blast air
- C.
Blast air and generator oil
- D.
Generator oil and engine oil
Correct Answer
B. Engine oil and blast airExplanation
The correct answer is engine oil and blast air. Brushless AC generators require cooling to prevent overheating. Engine oil is used to cool the generator's internal components, such as the stator and rotor, which generate heat during operation. This oil circulates within the generator and absorbs the heat, preventing damage to the generator. Additionally, blast air is used to provide external cooling by directing a flow of air over the generator. This helps to dissipate heat from the generator's surface, further preventing overheating. By using a combination of engine oil and blast air, the generator can effectively manage its temperature and operate efficiently.Rate this question:
