AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) prevent moisture from condensing in the windings during shutdown. The main purpose of an electric space heater installed in a large AC generator is to prevent moisture from condensing in the windings during shutdown periods. This helps maintain the integrity of the generator windings and prevents potential damage from moisture buildup. The other answer choices, while potentially related to generator maintenance, are not the primary purpose of the electric space heater in this scenario.
