Can motor act as generator (OR) vice versa? explain how
does it do please post the answer technically

Answer Posted / karthik_elec

in self exciter dc motors we can use as an generator, but in ac machines, squirrel cage induction motor we cant use as an generator because rotor winding is already shorted, in slip ring induction motor we can use but we need exiter, but in this case we cant get proper voltage and frequency ,because the construction of rotor winding is like that, synchronous motor construction already same like a alternator.
