The '''Phase Pulse Generators''' are devices built by the [[Forerunner]]s into their [[Halo]] installations. Halo's main weapon is powered by three phase pulse generators.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'''</ref> They amplify Halo's signal, and allow it to fire deep into space. The power levels are massive. How they produce such prodigious amounts of energy is unknown. The generators could possibly emit a [[Wikipedia:gamma ray burst|gamma ray burst]]. They are susceptible to close range EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) discharges, and destabilize if they come in contact with an EMP.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', page 268</ref>

They are usually located within the vicinity of the [[Control Room]] of the Installation, and the Generator Chambers are usually only accessible by air or via ducts used by the [[Sentinels]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', level ''[[Two Betrayals (Level)|Two Betrayals]]''</ref>

===Installation 04===

As mentioned above, the Generators were located close to the [[Control Room]], in platforms accessible via air.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', level ''[[Two Betrayals (Level)|Two Betrayals]]''</ref>

[[Cortana]] had the [[Master Chief]] disable these while on the [[Installation 04|first Halo]], in order to delay the Installation's activation so they would have time to destroy it, and to prevent 343 Guilty Spark from ''"Finding another way of activating Halo."'' They accomplished this by turning the Shield Generators from the Mark V armour he was wearing into a crude yet effective EMP bomb, that once activated knocked out the Master Chief's shielding for a short time.

===Installation 05===

It is not known where the Phase Pulse Generators are. It is possible that unlike [[Installation 04|Alpha Halo]], it uses only one large generator, within the Control Room itself.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', level ''[[The Great Journey (Level)|The Great Journey]]''</ref>

This might be a [[Shield Generator|shield generator]] for Halo, or it may serve as a power source for Halo. However, during the fight with Tartaraus, 343 Guilty Spark says that the "primary generators are coming online."
