Turn the shaft ;)


A brushed-commutator dc motor can be turned into a generator by connecting its shaft to another source of power to make it turn at the correct speed.

A diesel or gas engine - or another type of electric motor, such one that runs on 120V or 240V single phase ac - could be suitable.

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.


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.


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.


What are the Difference between dc motor and dc generator?

a motor Will do work by consuming power a generator is just the opposite


How is an electric motor different than an electromagnet generator?

Some types of motor can work equally well as a generator. A DC motor runs on a DC supply and supplies a mechanical load. If the load is removed the motor will free-run a little faster. But if the shaft is then driven faster than that, the current flows the opposite way and the motor has become a generator.


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

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.


Why generator has the better efficiency than motor?

becoz alternater has work on principle of electomagnetic induction .


Which pair is made up of two things that work in opposite way's A bar magnet and horseshoe magnet B chemical energy and mechanical energy C generator and motor D solar energy and geothermal energy?

C. Generator and motor. In case of generator mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy But in motor, electrical energy is changed into mechanical energy.


How do you identify a motor and a generator without operation?
