1. Induction motor has high starting torque, therefore use for operate pump which need high starting torque. 2. Induction motor operate on variable speed. 3. It can be used as generator when speed of motor is higher than synchronous speed.


What is Nikola Tesla generator?

While in college Nikola Tesla claimed it should be possible to operate an electrical motor without sparking brushes. He was told by the professor that such a motor would require perpetual motion and was therefore impossible. In the 1880's he patented the alternating current generator, motor, and transformer.

What size petrol generator to drive a electric motor to move a car?

A motor driving a generator to operate an electric car does not need to be as large as an engine that normally drives a car. This is because the engine must be made to provide the maximum power that the car requires wheras the generator motor only needs to provide enough to charge the batteries.The actual size depends on the size of the car and the batteries used.

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.

Can a 1 hp electric motor run a 3000 watt alternator?

Usual configuration, it is an engine that is used to turn a generator not a motor. If you mean it the other way around, will a 3000 watt generator have enough output to operate a 1 HP motor. 1 HP is equal to 746 watts. Keep in mind when a motor start it can take up to 300% of its full load amperage.
