Design engineers know that both brush DC and brushless DC (BLDC) motors can operate as generators, but many tend to avoid running brushed DC motors in generating mode because they believe it is ...

A loop of wire rotating between two permanent magnets generates DC and AC signals. This device can be connected to a DC power supply to run as a motor. Disconnect the DC power supply, if applicable.

There are several reasons to consider using brushed DC motors as generators in particular applications, notes Sunil Kedia of Portescap in a new Machine Design article. “Brushed DC motors are less ...

Any stepper motor can be used as a generator. In contrast to other generators, a stepper motor produces a large induced voltage even at low rotational speeds. The type used here, with a DC resistance ...

It ‘s worth noting that back EMF plays a critical role as a natural current limiter during normal motor operation. When motor ...

The fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of vehicles could be cut by over a quarter without the need for costly high voltage plug-in hybrid systems, according to a UK company. Controlled ...

In the simplest of terms, an AC generator supplies power directly to a 120-volt circuit to run AC accessories throughout a boat, as well as charge the boat’s batteries (through an AC-to-­DC charger).
