No. Motors can be run in either direction, clockwise or counter clockwise.

However, mechanically spinning an electric motor will generate electric power.

It may generate power if you run it backwards, but it won't cool properly


What type of energy is a running refrigerator motor?

The running refrigerator motor is using electrical energy to power the motor, which in turn drives the compressor to cool the refrigerator.

What happens if you connect a starter motor backwards?

By connect a starter motor backwards I assume you mean put the negative cable where the positive cable would go and then put the positive cable to the negative connection. In that case the starter motor should run backwards. That might be a handy thing to do if you are using a starter motor to power something else such as a winch or maybe a pump.


How many kw can a 12 volt motor generate?

It depends on the current rating of the armature winding, which will determine its input power. It's output power then depends on the motor's efficiency.


How reactive power drives active power?

reactive power depends on motor winding losses and the reason for increasing of temperature. At running condition the motor power reduces by copper loss.


Can rats running on rat wheels create power?

It is possible to produce some amount of electricity by attaching an electric motor to the wheel. As the motor run backwards, it will produce and electric current which you can monitor by using a small light bulb or an electric meter. However, the current produced will be on a very low intensity.


Why is it necessary to keep the speed of a generator or motor to the rated value?

I'm not entirely positive, but increasing or changing the conserved rated speed of a generator or motor might generate high and intense heating, waste large amounts of power, and possibly will cease to produce the necessary torque to keep running.
