What else can I help you with?
An electric motor is a generator in reverse meaning that it can turn electricity into?
An electrical motor generator in reverse means that it can turn the electrical energy to mechanical and kinetic energy.
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 is generator armature harder to rotate when it is connected to a circuit and supplying electric current?
Because a generator extracts energy from whatever is rotating it and passes this (by the electric current it produces) down the circuit to the motor (or light bulb or heater) where it is used. When there is no complete electric circuit, no electricity can flow so no (little) energy is extracted, but when the circuit is closed, electricity does flow and the armature is more difficult to turn.
Wheel composed of a series of blades that is used to turn a generator?
A wheel composed of a series of blades that is used to turn a generator is known as a turbine.
Which inventions from the turn of the century directly changed life the most?
phonograph electric light bulb electric rides and games type writer and glass cabinets
What is a hydro electric generator?
Hydro- means water. A hydro-electric generator uses moving water from a river or dam to turn the generator and produce electricity.
Do power plants use a turbine to turn a generator?
Yes.
An electric motor is a generator in reverse meaning that it can turn electricity into?
An electrical motor generator in reverse means that it can turn the electrical energy to mechanical and kinetic energy.
What do most plants use to turn a generator?
Steam, created by heating water through the burning of fossil fuels or through nuclear reactions.
What size generator do you need to move a 30 hp electric motor?
A 5 kW generator would turn it over but if the full 30 hp of mechanical power is needed, that would require about 30 kW of electric power from the generator.
How is wind and flowing water turned into electricity?
Wind energy is harvested using wind turbines, which convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical power through the rotation of blades. This mechanical power is then transformed into electricity by a generator. Similarly, hydropower plants harness flowing water to turn turbines, which in turn generate electricity through the movement of a rotor within a generator.
What do most power plants use to turn a generator?
Steam, created by heating water through the burning of fossil fuels or through nuclear reactions.
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.
What energy transfers takes place when the turbine turn the generator?
kinetic energy is transfered to electric energy
Do you know what home wind power generator is?
A wind power generator is something relevant to a windmill that uses wind to turn the blades creating electric that you can use to run your house. This saves a lot of money on electric costs.
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.
Most trains are powered by what?
There are two major types of modern locomotives. Electric, and Diesel-Electric. Electric locomotives are very popular in some countries, and likewise for diesel-electric. Electric locomotives take in electricity via an overhead wire or a third rail that carries this electricity which is then in turn used to power electrical motors on the axles of the locomotive to move the train. Diesel-electric is identical, but electricity is not directly supplied. The locomotive is fueled with diesel which powers a large diesel engine that drives a generator that in turn drives electric motors on the axles of the locomotive. Think of it as a hybrid. An on-board generator that powers on-board electric motors.
