What else can I help you with?
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!
What size transformer do you need to start a 15 hp motor?
To start a 15 hp motor, you typically need a transformer that can handle the motor's starting current, which can be significantly higher than its running current. Generally, the starting current can be 6 to 8 times the full-load current of the motor. For a 15 hp motor, the full-load current is about 18-20 amps at 230V or 10-12 amps at 460V, so the transformer should be rated to handle at least 100-160 amps. Additionally, it's advisable to consult the motor's specifications and consider factors like starting method and application to determine the exact transformer size.
Will using a transformer to convert 230V to 12V DC consume more energy than using a few capacitors and resistors without a transformer?
no, the transformer is much more efficient <><><> HOWEVER- a transformer only changes the voltage of AC current- it does not change it to DC. You will still need diodes or rectifiers. You can also use a motor/generator- a 230v AC motor turns a 12 v DC generator.
Why Back EMF occur in only dc motor?
It doesn't. It exists in all electrical machines, d.c. or a.c., motor, generator, or transformer.
Why is a motor rated in KW's and a transformer rated in?
The mechanical load of a motor determines the necessary output power rating of an electric motor. As mechanical loads are defined in terms of watts (or, in North America, horse power), then motor's output must be rated in watts, too.The so-called 'power' rating of a transformer is determined by the rated voltage and the rated current of its secondary winding. The product of these two quantities is the transformer's rated 'apparent power', expressed in volt amperes.Incidentally, the symbol for "kilowatts" is "kW", not"KW's"!
How do you know if motor is locked up?
A motor that is locked up cannot make a rotation. The motor will not turn over or start. Try to turn the main pulley. When the pulley cannot be by just, the motor is locked up.
Difference between transformer and induction motor?
1. Induction Motor has an air-gap but transformer has no air gap rather it is mutually link. 2. Induction Motor has high no-load current than transformer. 3. Induction Motor is a dynamic device. 4. Induction Motor has high power factor.
What devices transformer electrical energy into mechanical energy?
An electric motor, such as a starting motor

How do you load a transformer?
Anything that draws energy from a supply is a load. So you 'load' a transformer by attaching a lamp, a motor, etc., to the transformer's secondary windings.
What is LRA of a motor?
Locked rotor ampere
How are the two circuits of an induction motor similar to the circuit of a transformer?
They are magnetically coupled--a current in one circuit induces a current in the other one in both a transformer and an induction motor.
What is locked rotor?
Locked rotor current is the amount of current a motor would draw if you energize the motor and the rotor (the spinning shaft) doesn't spin.
What is a static transformer?
It's a transformer that operates with AC current in and out. It's an ordinary transformer, with the term "static" used to differentiate it from rotating transformers, such as motor-generator sets.
How do you start a motor without a starter?
By the use of auto transformer and bridge rectifier we can start dc motor.
Why is a motor rated in KW's and a transformer rated in KVA?
One reason is that the motor is expected to do work (watts) whereas a transformer only changes the voltage and (ideally) does no work. [Yes, losses do occur.]
What capacitor should you use on my step up transformer with an output of 220v so you can use it to run my 220v 60hz motor?
If you have a transformer with an output adequate to run the motor, use it directly for the supply to the motor control circuitry. Remember when dealing with motors, the start current will be about 300% of the full load running amperage. Size the transformer accordingly.
