Consider now what happens if we run the motor in reverse; that is, we attach a handle to the shaft and mechanically force the coil to rotate within the magnetic field, as shown in Figure 20.26.

Motor generators work on the fundamental principle of energy conversion. The process starts with the electric motor receiving electrical power (from an external source, such as a grid or
View Details
They typically consist of two main components: a motor and a generator. When the motor is powered, it generates mechanical movement, which the generator then converts into electricity.

Motor–generator sets are used to convert frequency, voltage, or phase of power. They may also be used to isolate electrical loads from the electrical power supply line.

Identical hand-cranked generators can be used to show that a generator can function as a motor and vice versa. If mechanical energy is put into the one of the devices by turning the crank, electrical
