How do fusion generators work in Fallout 4?

In Fallout 4, Fusion Generators are advanced power sources in settlements that use a Fusion Core to generate a large amount of electricity (100 power units), requiring high Science! perks to build (from Wasteland Workshop DLC) and connect via wires to power lights, turrets, and purifiers, with larger variants available in the Vault-Tec Workshop DLC. They operate by consuming the energy from the Fusion Core within their panel, providing clean, high-output power for complex settlement needs, though they don't drain cores like power armor.
