Difference between motor and generator
In this article we are going to discuss about the difference between motor and generator. In both machine more similarity but some difference between them
Difference between Motor and Generator
Motor |
Generator |
|
1. The motor are convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. Simply we can say that it generate rotation power at motor shaft output.
|
The generator are convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. it convert rotation power into electrical power,
|
|
2. It gives mechanical output if its input is electrical
|
It gives electrical output if its input is mechanical
|
|
3. its only one input , electrical power
|
In this machine many types input used as like falling water, pressurized steam, coal
|
|
4. A DC generator is also a DC motor it means a generator can be converting into motor.
|
A DC motor is also can be convert into DC generator.
|
|
5. It is used for drive every type machine as like washing machine, Printing machine etc.
|
It is used for generate electrical power which are used to drive electrical motor.
|
|
6. It work on principle of electromagnetic induction but in this Fleming left hand rule work
|
It is also work on principle of electromagnetic induction but current direction given by Fleming right hand rule
|
So these are main difference between motor and generator if above find you some incorrect please comment below.
