Modular Power Generators
Information:
Generators are built on the Converter Platform and can only function if attached to a Turbine. Power output will fluctuate based on the RPM of the attached Turbine, only producing its maximum output once it reaches the required RPM.

Tips
-
The generator has no external input. It receves its input from the attached turbine. If the generator is not outputing the expected amount of power, look for issues with your Turbine.
-
Attaching a MV generator to a Mk1 turbine will cause the generator to underperform. This can still be to your advantage however if you just need to coax a few extra megawatts from an older powerplant.
Other Generators
Information:
The Super HV Generator is a special generator designed for use with the Modular Reactor and Project Icarus programs. It does not work with regular Modular Power systems.
