What is a tachometer generator?
Tachometers are instruments which are used to determing the speed at which something is turning [usually measured/indicated in Revolutions per minute]. There are many different tachs that accomplish this in several different ways. The tach that uses a "generator" is basically a voltmeter for the "read out," and a generator that creates a small electrical output which when supplied to [and properly calibrated to] the read out voltmeter guage, gives an indication of the Rpm of the shaft to which the generator is attached.
What is the relationship between generators and motors?
Both generator and motor are energy converters. Subject to losses, both convert one form of energy into another. All motors and generators use a form of motion on one side of their energy conversion process (typically, but not necessarily, rotary motion). For example, a petrol engine is a motor that converts combustible fuel into rotary motion, an electric generator converts (typically rotary) motion into electric energy. Complimentary motor/generator pairs are only possible among certain forms of energy. For example, an electric motor can be connected to a generator, thus converting electric energy into rotary motion, and converting rotary motion back into electric energy. Other complimentary motor/generator pairs are only possible by indirection. For example, a wind turbine converts wind energy into rotation, which can be converted into electric energy with an (electric) generator. This generator's output can then supply an electric motor, which converts it into rotary motion, which in turn might drive a fan blade, thus converting rotary motion into wind energy. Not all energy forms support complimentary motor/generator pairs. Combustible fuels such as petrol, for example, can be converted into rotary motion which a combustion engine. However, a generator capable of converting rotary motion into combustible fuel has yet to be invented.
Were can I review the ratings of home generator brands?
Best way to find good ratings on home generator brands would be online, search the brands, prices, and locations. Going into different warehouse to can be helpful as well.
Are the fan motors on fanuc ac spindle motors ac or dc?
usually ac 110v even on the dc motors
Is there an adapter to go from a portable generator with 2 110v outlets to convert it to a 30 amp RV plug?
There are so many different generator outlet types it is best just to ask a store that specializes in accessories for RVs and motor homes.
Will a pullstart from a lawnmower work on a generator?
yes if both are honda motors briggs and stratons have a different sort of mount if they are both briggs and stratton you are fine too
What is the application of generator and motors?
A generator converts mechanical power into electrical power. A motor converts electrical power into mechanical power.
How does a modern diesel locomotive develop power?
A diesel engine - bigger but no different from the ones in cars and trucks ... drives an electric generator, which powers the motors connected to the wheels.
Elevator driving motors used with a generator field control are rated as?
Elevator driving motors used with a generator field control are rated in kVA. This is a unit of electrical power that is often used to measure the capacity of elevator motors. ESCON Elevators uses generator field control motors in their elevator systems, which are known for their high efficiency and reliability. If you are looking for an elevator system that is both efficient and reliable, then ESCON Elevators is a great option
What one converts electrical energy into mechanical energy that is used for work motors or generators?
A generator
What is SIC 3621?
This classification comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing power generators, motor generator sets, and electric motors, excluding engine-starting motors.
Is an electric motor and a generator very similar devices or entirely different?
They are very similar devices. They both involve a rotating shaft and coils of wire used as electromagnets. However, only certain types of simple DC motors, can be used as generators with no modiication. AC generators need careful control of the feild coils, via special circuits. Putting AC back into an AC generator will not make it work as a motor. The small DC motors found in toys, can be used directly as a small DC generator. You will find this in practice, in hand generator flashlights. The generator used for charging the battery, is no more than a model motor.
Why DC motors and DC generators are commonly known as DC machines?
because the dc motor will act as dc generator as same as dc generator acts as a dc motor .so it is called as dc machines.AnswerBecause generators and motors are machines, and operate on d.c.'A.C. machines' are generators, transformers, and motors which operate on a.c.
Can you use a car as a backup generator for a house?
creative, and nice. Yes, if you some how rigged it (the wheel) up to a alternator/generator and into a transformer for home supply. you would have to jack the car up, or prop it up somehow, attach a generator by belt or welding, wire the generator to some capacity and then to an output transformer. Any motor can be made into a generator when attached to a power generation source, such as a alternator. DC MOTORS WILL NOT WORK. POLYPHASE INDUCTION MOTORS WILL NOT WORK AS THEY RELY ON TWO INPUT PHASES TO OPERATE AND CONTAIN NO MAGNETS.
What are SIC 3621 product lines?
In 2001 the industry's products consisted of four primary product groups: fractional horsepower motors, integral horsepower motors and generators, land prime mover generator sets, and parts and supplies for motors and generators.
What is the difference between DC motors and DC generator?
A generator turns mechanical (or other) energy into electricity. A motor does the exact opposite, turning electrical energy into mechanical energy (e.g. motion).
How is a motor different from a generator and how is a generator different then a mot or?
A motor takes electricity and creates rotating motion. A generator takes rotating motion and turns it into electricity.
