'''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>

==Installation 04==
As mentioned above, the generators were located close to the Control Room, in platforms accessible via air.{{Ref/Reuse|tb}}

[[Cortana]] had the [[Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief]] [[John-117]] disable these while on [[Installation 04]], in order to delay the Installation's activation so they would have time to destroy it, and to prevent [[04-343 Guilty Spark]] from "finding another way of activating Halo." They accomplished this by turning the shield generators from the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V armor]] 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 [[Installation 05]]'s phase pulse generators are, though they are likely to be located in the vicinity of the control room similar to the generators of Installation 04. During the fight between the [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] and [[Tartarus]], 343 Guilty Spark states that the "primary generators are coming online", implying that the installation's firing system is similar to that of Installation 04.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[The Great Journey]]''</ref>

==Installation 08==
Two of the pulse generators of [[Installation 08]] were encountered by John-117 during the [[Raid on Installation 08]]. They were similar in overall shape to those of the original installation, aside minor differences such as more barriers placed in the perimeter, preventing the player from destroying them.<ref name="h3">'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''</ref>
