How can we convert the motor to generator and also generator to motor..

Answer / shahbaz shaikh

in general motors are the machine which convert electrical energy to mechanical energy so if we want to convert motor to generator then we have to couple the motor shaft with some external turbine or d.c motor or pony motor so bye providing the high speed more then its synchronous speed we can make the motor as generator which have negative slip.

How can we convert the motor to generator and also generator to motor..

Answer / elvis luis

motors are machines which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy i.e it consumes electrical energy(supply source) and output is mechanical (torque) taken from the shaft output. motor,in case of induction motors, has a speed less than the synchronous speed and a positive slip. for a motor to run as a generator an external prime mover is used so that the motor is forcefully run above its synchronous speed. this allows the motor to run as a generator, in this case the motor now instead of consuming energy from the source starts feeding the source. a motor now acting as a generator has a negative slip.
