One could but there would be additional losses. Older frequency changers use a synchronous motor to turn a synchronous generator with a different number of poles to change frequency. I have seen these used in woodworking.
An example is to use a two pole motor to turn a four pole generator to generate power at twice the line frequency. A More modern solution would be to use semiconductors which would also allow the output frequency to be varied.
What else can I help you with?
How fast does a turbine have to turn to create electricity?
This all depends on firstly how the turbine is built, and how large the turbine is. Please add more detail.
How is water related to electricity?
There are several ways for water to generate electricity:Hydroelectric Power: Water from a high location or from behind a dam flows through a turbine to turn a generatorWave Power: The oscillations of waves lift and lower floats which turn generatorsTidal Power: Tides flowing in and out of narrow estuaries turn turbinesThermal Power: Water is turned to steam by burning fuel or nuclear energy. The stream turns a turbine to turn generatorsGeothermal Power: Water turned to steam by the Earth's heat is directed through steam turbines to turn generatorsSolar Power: Sunlight is turned to electricity by solar panels. The electricity is used to turn water to hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is collected as a fuel for fuel cells.
Would the motor turn if only the armature were excited?
A motor will turn when only the armature is excited, if there is enough residual magnetism in the field.
Describe the parts of a motor and how they use electric current to turn an axle?
The parts of a motor includes the valves,piston rings,piston and the cylinder just but to mention a few. It uses the power of the magnetic fields to convert electricity into motion.
How does an electric drill work?
An electric drill has a small electric motor inside, driving a series of gears. The power from the gears turn a chuck, which holds the bit placed into it thereby drilling a hole.
Why is the gas turbine called as the power plant?
A gas turbine is one type of power plant. It produces power by burning gas to turn the turbine.
How do you turn Turbine Blades?
Turbine blades turn by the winds power so if its windy they turn fast if it is not windy at all they don't turn
Do power plants use a turbine to turn a generator?
Yes.
Why must the turbine spin for nuclear power?
To turn the generators.
What is a correct statement of what occurs at a turbine during electricity production?
They are turned using steam.
What are the steps in making power supply?
An external form of energy to turn a metal turbine around a magnet is the most common and easiest way to generate electricity. Examples : burning coal to turn the turbine or with windmills to turn the turbine.
What is a gas turbine power generator?
Gas turbine power generators are used in two basic configurations. Simple Systems consisting of the gas turbine driving an electrical power generator. You fill them with gas carefully & turn them in.
How does coal turn a turbine?
Coal is burned in a furnace, creating high-temperature steam. The steam is directed towards a turbine, causing the turbine blades to spin. As the blades turn, they power a generator which produces electricity.
What is the uses of packing steam in turbine?
The main uses for packing steam in a turbine are to produce electricity and power. The steam creates pressure when in turn spins a turbine at very high rates of speed.
What do nuclear power plants use to turn a turbine that is used to rotate the generator?
Nuclear power plants use steam to turn a turbine that is connected to a generator. The steam is produced by heat generated from the nuclear fission process within the reactor. As the steam passes through the turbine, it causes the blades to spin, which in turn rotates the generator to produce electricity.
What spins the turbine of coal-burning power plant?
Steam produced by heating water with the coal's heat energy spins the turbine of a coal-burning power plant. The high-pressure steam flows through the turbine blades, causing them to turn and drive the generator that produces electricity.
How the water turbine blades from hydro power?
when water passes thru a dam, it turns the turbine blades, the turbine blades turn a huge metal rod like stick and the rod turns and powers an generator.
