Usually, yes! You will need some kind of variable/low voltage supply (recommended either of those 2) and slowly turn up the voltage. If you notice it moving, then it will work. If it just buzzes and sits there, immediately cut off the voltage so you don't burn out your generator. Be careful, the maximum input voltage of it isn't usually measured since it's a generator, so while still on the variable supply, test and see when the brushes start to throw some decent sparks, at that point you should stop and whatever voltage that was should be your maximum after you subtract 8 volts or so.
What else can I help you with?
Why load angle is positive for generator and negative for motor?
simply put a motor consumes power and a generator produces it. reactance of a generator = - reactance of a motor
Did Mike Faraday invent the generator and motor?
Mike Faraday did invent the generator and motor.
Can a motor operate as generator?
Yes, by giving mechanical power to motor . It acts as a Generator.
How does ac electric motor convert in to an alternator?
a motor is a generator and a generator is a motor, if you are applying a voltage to turn the rotor its a motor and if you are turning the rotor and taking the voltage off the terminals its a generator or alternator.
How do you identify a motor and a generator without operation?
a motor drives something a generator is driven by something
How do you convert a DC motor to a generator?
all the electrical machines can be run either as a motor or as a generator. but dc machines, A motor can be run as generator and vice versa with little modification
What size of generator to run 5.5kw 400v 50Hz motor?
You need a 5.5kw generator to run a 5.5kw motor.
How do you change over a ac motor to a dc generator?
Type your answer here... how can you change an ac motor to a dc generator
How is a motor different from a generator and how is a generator different then a mot or?
A motor takes electricity and creates rotating motion. A generator takes rotating motion and turns it into electricity.
Can an electric motor run a generator to power itself if the motor has a small gear and the generator has a big gear?
I think it can work with a certain type of generator and an electric motor like one that uses 300w/h The idea is to run a generator that can produce more electricity than needed to run the motor that is powering it.
Can a motor act like an electric generator?
when the motor runs more than rated speed it produces leading current and results act as a generator. (or) the motor act as generator when it produces more back e.m.f
Can you use a dc generator as a dc motor?
Yes you can turn a motor into a generator, if it is a permanent magnet motor.
