There is 746 watts per HP. So a 350 hp motor with a power factor of roughly 0.8 would require 261,000 W 261KW generator or 326 KVA.

What is the application of generator and motors?

A generator converts mechanical power into electrical power. A motor converts electrical power into mechanical power.


Do you notice that the driving motor is obviously working harder when the generator is delivering power to the load?

Yes, when the generator is delivering power to the load, the driving motor experiences an increased load, causing it to work harder. This is because the motor must provide the additional energy required to generate electricity and supply it to the connected load. As a result, you may notice an increase in the motor's current draw and potential changes in its operating efficiency.


Why DC battery is required for generator?

The starter motor of a diesel generator is a DC motor. Depending on the size of the diesel engine the starter motor could be 12 volts or 24 volts. Sometimes more that one battery is used at the specific voltage. These batteries are connected in parallel to create more amp hour cranking power.


Is it possible that you use motor as a generator input and electricity of the generator provide to a motor as a input?

If I'm understanding the question, you are proposing using one motor and one generator, and have the motor spin the generator up to speed, and have the generator attempt to supply power to the motor. The answer is yes, you can do this, but you will be losing energy, not gaining it. The motor and generator's efficiencies are less than 100%, so once you remove the outside source they will slow down until they come to a complete stope, without any other load connected other than themselves.


What is the problem with using an electric motor to run a generator stepped up with transformers that is used to run the motor and give electricity for other uses?

It's all to do with the conservation of energy. The output power of the transformer cannot be greater than the input power from the motor used to drive your generator! In fact, it will be significantly lower than the power of your first motor due to the efficiency of the motor, of the generator being driven by that motor, and of the transformer. So if you then try to run the original motor from the output of your transformer, the energy-losses will simply accumulate, and the motor will not be able to run!

Can a motor operate as generator?

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


Could works a 500 watts of power and 3 phases motor with a wind generator?

Yes, but it would have to be a pretty big and expensive wind generator. You would need an inverter to produce at least 500 watts of 3 phase power. Unless you also had some big batteries, you could only run your motor when the wind is blowing!


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


What is the application of generator and motors?

A generator converts mechanical power into electrical power. A motor converts electrical power into mechanical power.


What is the difference between an electic motor and an electic generator?

AC motor produce mechanical power and absorbed electric energy the power generator produce electrical power absorbed mechanical power


Can 1hors power motor run the 2500 generator?

A 1-horsepower motor can produce about 746 watts of power. If the 2500 generator requires more than this amount of power to operate, then the 1-horsepower motor would not be sufficient to run it. Typically, a 2500-watt generator would require a motor with a higher power output to function effectively. Therefore, it's unlikely that a 1-horsepower motor can adequately power a 2500-watt generator.


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.


When the motor is doing some work at the same time can it generate power with help of another generator is this possible like this anything there?

You can't use a motor to power a generator and use the output of that generator to power the motor. Some energy will be lost at each step making the hookup pointless. But you can use a combustion engine to power an electric generator and use that electricity to power auxillary systems around the engine.

How does the generator terminal voltage rise and the motor speed fall when the brushes are given a backward shift in a generator or forward shift in a motor?

A generator is a back up of power. A generator can only give so much voltage.

Can you run a AC generator with help of a DC motor if yes how if no why not?

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