The difference between special motors and generators

The structure of the generator and motor is basically the same, and they can operate as electric motors when powered on; The prime mover drives the rotor to rotate, and the magnetic field cuts through the stator winding to induce electromotive force, which becomes the generator.

Structural construction:

The comprehensive structure of the motor and generator is basically the same, and both have reversibility.

Motor: Rotates under the action of ampere force in a magnetic field through wire coils, and drives other objects to move during the movement process.

Generator: Using physical external forces to drive and rotate the coil, causing it to cut magnetic lines of force and generate current.

Working principle:

Electric motor: uses electric current to convert into mechanical energy, driving external objects to rotate

Generator: Utilizing electromagnetic induction to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.

The relationship between the motor and the generator is not equal! Although there is reversibility between the electric motor and the generator! When we combine them during use, they will not become permanent machines because there is energy conservation.
