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!

Can a5500 watt generator run a 1 horse power motor?

Yes, a 5500 watt generator should be able to run a 1 horsepower motor. A typical 1 horsepower motor requires around 750-1000 watts to operate, so the generator's output should be sufficient. Just make sure to check the starting wattage of the motor to ensure the generator can handle any initial surge in power.


Will a 2800 watt generator run a 550 watt electric cement mixer motor?

Yes, a 2800 watt generator should be able to run a 550 watt electric cement mixer motor. The generator's wattage is more than enough to power the motor with some extra capacity for other devices. Be sure to check the starting wattage of the motor as well to ensure the generator can handle the initial surge of power needed.


Can you take a 12000 watt gas powered generator and replace the gas engine with a electric motor to run the generator?

A 15 KW generator won't likely run everything in your house, but besides that it is not efficient. You will be using more electricity to run the generator than the power would deliver. You also defeat the reason for the generator - run your house when power goes out. Now if you had a wind turbine turning a generator you have a positive contribution to house power. This is how wind power works. There are also lots of issues associated with a power transfer switch and feeding power back into the grid.


What is armature amps?

Armature amps refer to the current flowing through the armature winding of an electric motor or generator. It is used to power the electromagnetic coils that generate the magnetic field needed for the motor or generator to operate efficiently. Monitoring armature amps is crucial for maintaining the proper functioning and performance of the motor or generator.


Is it possible to combine both motor and generator into single device?

It is possible, but in general it would be fairly pointless unless you want a very specific type of application The simplest way to do what you're proposing would be to have a motor spin an axle, and connect that axle to the generator's input. But because of the fact no system is loss-less you would be losing energy to friction and hysteresis and resistance you would be losing energy if you have a motor power its own generator. On the other hand this device could then be connected to a battery bank (through proper voltage regulators and a rectifier) and it would be possible to either charge the cells (by connecting the generator and spinning the axle) or run the motor (by discharging the cells through the motor). This is a little like the principle behind regenerative breaking in an electric car. Also, every generator is ALSO a motor, in a way, it simply depends how it's hooked up. Any AC electric motor could theoretically be turned into a generator.

Can a motor operate as generator?

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


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 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.


Which is used to convert DC to ac?

A power switching circuit called an inverter. You could also use an electromechanical motor-generator: DC motor turning an alternator.


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.


What are the differences between the parts of a generator and the parts of a motor?

In principle a generator is the same as a motor. In a dc motor the voltage generated by the rotating armature is slightly less than the supply voltage which causes power to flow in from the supply. If an engine is then coupled to the shaft causing it to rotate faster, then it generates more voltage and power flows back into the supply. That is how a motor becomes a generator.
