Yes, but the power you get out will be much less than the power you put into the motor.

Whether you can use motor as generator?

Yes. You can run it backwards, spin the rotor of the motor and take electricity out.


Can a motor operate as generator?

Yes, by giving mechanical power to motor . It acts as a Generator.


Is an AC generator can use AC motor and vice verso?

Are you planning to build a perpetual motion machine in which the power generated by an AC generator is used to run an AC motor which is used to run the same AC generator which provides it with power? Because that won't work. Yes, you can use a motor to generate electricity, and you can use electricity to run a motor, but the process is not 100% efficient and if you try to make it a closed loop, it will run down fairly quickly. So, what do we actually do? We use fuel to run an AC generator, or we use waterfalls or wind, or some other energy source, and then we use the power to run our motor.


Would a defective governor cause a generator motor not run?

Yes, if the governor failed in a way that "makes it think" the generator is always running too fast it might prevent the generator from running at all.


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.


Can motor be converted to generator?

yes, some can.


Can an electric motor be used as a generator?

yes


Can you take a 12000 watt gas powered generator and replace the gas engine with a electric motor to run the generator?

A 15 KW generator won't likely run everything in your house, but besides that it is not efficient. You will be using more electricity to run the generator than the power would deliver. You also defeat the reason for the generator - run your house when power goes out. Now if you had a wind turbine turning a generator you have a positive contribution to house power. This is how wind power works. There are also lots of issues associated with a power transfer switch and feeding power back into the grid.


Can a generator run an arch welder?

yes


Will a 1 kVa generator run a deep freeze?

No, the generator is too small.


Does a generator produce DC electrical current?

Yes, provided its a stationary field type generator and it has split rings on its armature. take a general dc motor used in tape recorders and observe it. it you give supply, its a dc motor if you rotate it by the help of other and take the output from its leads its a dc generator thats simple


Why is it said that generator is a motor working in reverse?

because working principle of both the things are same.The motor converts electrical energy in to mechanical via magnetic induction and generator do the exact opposite of this.And yes,you should use 'electricity generator' not only 'generator'.
