Here we will just connect DC generator shaft with motor's rotating spindle.

Now connect voltmeter across dc gen. and just calibrate voltmeter in terms of rpm.

If you have worked with micro-controllers then it will be very easy using it's ADC input.

Can a motor works as a generator?

since the physical construction of a DC motor and DC generator is the same,it can work either way.in other words,yes a DC motor can work as a DC generator(if you drive it by a primemover it will produce electricity).however its not possible with all AC motors.


How does the starting of synchronous motor using dc generator as a load work-?

Starting of the synchronous motor using the DC generator creates a magnetic field.


Does a generator produce ac or DC voltage?

NO, generator always generating AC current,when commutator is used,at that time AC is converted in DC.and due to this generator is called dc generator.

What is the difference between a DC motor and a DC generator Why can't you use a DC motor as DC generator?

A DC motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. The converted energy is provided to a mechanical load.A DC generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. The converted energy is provided to the electrical load (voltage, current referring load).A DC motor can be used as a DC generator and vice-versa.

How do you make DC generator?

A DC generator is a DC machine that is driven by an external rotating force. It is constructed the same as a DC motor.
