Answer to Question #117576 in Electric Circuits for Ben

Question

a reasoned argument as to why a high voltage AC generator should be used rather than a low voltage turbine driven dynamo

Answer 1

Of course, it depends on the situation where the HV AC generator or LV turbine driven dinamo are supposed to be used, but if we speak about cities, generation of electrical energy is more efficient at higher voltages. This allows reducing power losses.
