Can a Dc Generator Be Used as a Motor?
2 Answers. Any Dc Motor with Permanent Magnets Can Easily Be a Generator. for Example, a Car Alternator Has Dc Slip-Rings (Not a Commutator!) to Supply a Small...

Keeping this in view, can a motor be used as a generator?
Yes, you can use your motor as generator. But there are two types of DC motors. In small DC Motors permanent magnets are used to create the magnetic field.so,you can use it as a generator. But,In big motors insulated wire is wound into a coil,when electricity is passed through it then magnetic field is created.
One may also ask, how many volts can a DC motor generate? It can produce over 1300 Watts which is 91 amps at 14.7 Volts - more than enough to charge anything, including car batteries. It could easily run an alternator from a car or motorcycle, but would need to be geared down to 2000 rpm.
One may also ask, what is the best motor to use as a generator?
Stepper motors can be obtained from old broken printers and scanners. This is one instructable that makes a light glow with stepper motor generator. The DC motor is best suited for a generator. It'll produce current, even if the speed of the rotation is somewhat less.
Can a 3 phase motor be used as a generator?
3 phase motor used as generator. No it will not act as an alternator. To generate electricity you have to move wires through an electromagnetic field, or move the field past the wires.. There is no such field in an ordinary three phase or single phase AC motor which is just being spun with a petrol or diesel motor.
