This document discusses key considerations for micro hydro layouts. Equipment is designed to operate at specific voltages and frequencies, and deviating from these values can cause damage or reduce equipment lifespan. The frequency of generated electricity is determined by the shaft speed of the turbine/generator and the number of magnetic poles in the generator. Proper layout is important to ensure voltages and frequencies match equipment specifications.

at a specific voltage and frequency and operating off of these designed values can cause serious damage and reduce the life of the equipment Micro hydro layout
For example, an electric motor will overheat if the
frequency is too high, or may burn out on starting if
the voltage is lower than specified.
when electricity is generated, its frequency is
determined by the shaft speed of the turbine/generator
