'''Phase pulse generators''' are a primary component of the firing mechanisms of the [[Halo Array]]. They amplify the firing signal of an installation, allowing it to destroy all life across large areas of the galaxy. 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 name="tb">'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', [[campaign]] level ''[[Two Betrayals (Level)|Two Betrayals]]''</ref> They can be overloaded through close-range [[electromagnetic pulse]] discharges.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 268''</ref> | '''Phase pulse generators''' are a primary component of the firing mechanisms of the [[Halo Array]].
