Live wire in generator? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dynamo

This clue is a double definition.

'live wire' is the first definition.
(both can mean an energetic person)

'generator?' is the second definition.
(I know that dynamo is a type of generator)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dynamo that I've seen before include "Juice supplier" , "Forceful person" , "Type of electrical generator" , "It generates electricity" , "Generator of electricity (eg, on bicycle)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
