GENERATOR SET FOR GENERATING AN ALTERNATING CURRENT

The present invention relates to a generator set (1) for generating alternating current, comprising a primary power unit (2) and an alternating current generator (3) that is rotationally coupled to the primary power unit (2), which is configured to convert a primary power provided by the primary power unit (2) into electrical power, and a switchable secondary power unit (4), which is designed such that the generated power of the alternating current generator (3) is increased by switching on the secondary power unit (4).
