When current is induced in the rotating coil in an electric generator then a counter couple acts on the current carrying rotating coil in the magnetic field(in accordance to the principle of dc motor). This counter couple is called back motor effect.

Can a 1 horse power motor run on a 2500 watt generator?

Maybe that motor can turn the generator, but you won't get 2,500 watts out of it. 1 horsepower is only 746 watts. <<>> A one HP motor draws 16 amps on 115 volts and 8 amps on 230 volts. Using the formula W = A x V = 16 x 8 = 1840 watts. It shows that the motor will run on a 2500 watt generator. Where the problem might arise is getting the motor to start. Generally a motor takes 300% of its running current to start. 16 x 300% = 48 starting amps. Back to the first formula W = 48 x 115 = 5520 watts. The 2500 watt generator is just under half of the wattage needed to start the motor. Try the generator, one of three things will happen, one the generator will stall, two the generators breaker will trip or three the motor will run. Some generators have a temporary overload output built into them that will allow the above generator rating output for a certain amount of seconds. If your generator has this feature then the motor will probably start.


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.


How do you remove the generator from the motor?

To remove a generator from a motor, typically you would: disconnect any electrical connections, unbolt the generator from the mounting points, and carefully lift it out of the motor assembly. Make sure to follow any specific instructions in the manual for your particular generator model.


1000 watt generator power can it power a oil burner?

Watts = amps x volts. 1000/120 = 8.3. Assuming the oil burner motor is 120V then the generator has the ability to produce 8.3 amps. Find the amperage on the burner pump motor, if it is in this range it will work. The closer the pump amperage is to the generator output the more effect it will have on slowing the generator down on the start. Motors draw up to 300% on start up, this is what makes the generator lag when a motor is connected as a load.


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.

Can a motor act like an electric generator?

when the motor runs more than rated speed it produces leading current and results act as a generator. (or) the motor act as generator when it produces more back e.m.f


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.


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

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 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.


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.


How do you identify a motor and a generator without operation?

Explain how the induction motor gets loaded when the DC generator is loaded?

when the dc generator is loaded current will be drawn from it, therefore a back emf Will be generated, which opposes the motion of a generator, and hence, that opposition loads the three phase generator
