In electricity generation, an electrical generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy, generally using electromagnetic induction. The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by a motor; motors and generators have many similarities. A generator forces electric charges to move through an external electrical circuit, but it does not create electricity or charge, which is already present in the wire of its windings. It is somewhat analogous to a water pump, which creates a flow of water but does not create the water inside. The source of mechanical energy may be a reciprocating or turbine steam engine, water falling through a turbine or waterwheel, an internal combustion engine, a wind turbine, a hand crank, compressed air or any other source of mechanical energy.

Answered by unknown - Mon Mar 3 16:06:09 2008 If i have a 3 fase 110v electric motor and use it as a gen'rator will it actualy become 3 diffrent generators? Q. I had to spell things a bit differently in the title to make it all fit in the allotted space. Anyways. When a 3 phase motor is used as a generator will it become three seperate generators when powered by an engine? When it is a capacitor start motor, will the start capacitor excite the generator (motor) and will it need to be converted to a motor RUN capacitor?

If indeed you do have a three phase 120 volt electric motor (rare) you will be abel to have two power Supply but not three. The third phase is a combination for the other two legs (phases) and will result in a higher voltage the you will be able to use (generally around 180 volts) Just know there are some differences between an electric motor and a generator, prime example being a voltage regulator (the reason you hear a generator change sounds when something plugged into it.) Circuit protection breaker for amp over draw, source of grounding etc... While what you are thinking about can be done it will require a lot of effort and design, it will probably be cheaper to buy a generator. I hope this helps.

Q. The battery on my generator just went dead so I hooked the battery charger onto it. I'm not sure if the battery is fully charged yet. Will the generator charge the battery up the rest of the way if I have enough charge to get the engine started?? I didn't know if the generator worked similarly to a car charging the battery with the alternator. Thanks for your help!! Asked by calories - Thu Jul 9 16:19:43 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. This depends on the engine. If the engine was equipped with a generator to charge the battery, it will charge the battery, given enough time. Most generators that have electric start will have a generator but I have seen one that did not (I think it was an 8hp, larger ones are more likely to have it). If you trace the wiring from the battery, you will see that the heavy Pos cable will go to the solenoid (a big relay) and from there will be a couple of smaller wires that go to the key or start button. If you see additional wiring going to a metal box (often with cooling fins), this is probably the charging regulator so you could conclude that it will charge the battery. If you have a voltmeter, connect it across the battery (without the… [cont.] Answered by TechnoStuff - Thu Jul 9 16:54:50 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Generators"
