This blog post provides an overview of two of the key engineering concepts to remember when considering using a brushed DC motor as a generator. Back EMF. Back-EMF is directly proportional to the angular speed of the motor shaft rotation. When a motor operates as a generator, its shaft is mechanically coupled and rotated by an external
battery is 8S lipo, ESC is 60V, 30A continuous, motor is 500g 120kv. Any pointers welcome. This is an older thread, but using a brushless motor can work as a generator, but the problem is you have to spin the motor at pretty high RPM''s to get enough voltage to charge a battery. It would take somewhere around 15,000 to 20,000
A brushless motor will need a 3 phase rectifier, but will be more compact for any given power. Use schottkys rather than silicon diodes to make best use of the low voltage output. Most motors tend to spin quite quickly to deliver their rated power, any practical sized turbine will spin way slower than those.
I''m trying to use a 3-phase brushless motor (RC motor) as a generator for a series-hybrid vehicle and don''t know what kind of electronics are best suited for my purpose. I want to use the RC motor to keep a battery fully charged. Some things I know. I have 9 kW mechanical power readily available at 6000-8000 rpm.
Brushless generator working principle. Take the brushless generator as an electric power working in the opposite direction. Get ready to connect the fan cable to a 120 volt AC outlet and then press the ON button. The electric motor is turned on in the fan due to electricity, which leads to the rotation.
Shad0w7. 103 2. 1. A motor for 40kW to be used as a generator will likely be heavier than a generator specifically designed for 40kW. – Solar Mike. Aug 16, 2020 at 21:07. 1. If a motor is rated to spin at 1000RPM/V, then you can expect that if you spin it at 1000RPM it will produce about a 1V (ignoring loading).
1.1 Basic equations. Driving the motor shaft, a voltage proportional to the shaft speed is generated in the motor. where. Uind = Induced voltage (V) kn = Speed constant of the motor (rpm/V) kg = Generator constant of the
Both brushed and brushless DC motors can be operated as generators. However, there are some important points to consider when designing the drive. Every now and then, I''m asked about the suitability of maxon DC motors for the use as a generator. Since our motors are very efficient, this is also true when operated as generators.
Brushless motor commutation can be implemented in software using a microcontroller, or may alternatively be implemented using analog or digital circuits. Commutation with electronics instead of brushes allows for greater flexibility and capabilities not available with brushed DC motors, including speed limiting, microstepping operation for slow and fine
18,224. Jul 11, 2016. #6. If the battery can use all the 70 amps, just connect the battery to the rectifier and the battery will load down the generator to 5 volts. If the battery can''t use up 70 amps, you will need a 5 volt regulator that can pass 70 amps. If you know what kind of battery it is, you can find the voltage to set the regulator for.
Rule #1: For generation of DC voltage select a brushed DC motor or use a brushless EC (BLDC) motor with voltage rectifier. For the generation of AC voltage, select a brushless EC motor and connect 2 phases only. Hall sensors are not needed on brushless motors.
Brushless DC motors (BLDC) or permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are pretty much the same thing and are the best to use as generators. They
The "BLDC" motor/generator will be connected to a 1.5KW, 2.011HP and 10,000RPM Max water cooled engine. The reason for a brusheless motor is due to its ratios of weight to power and many are water cooled to make further use of a pre-existing cooling system already in place. The brushless motor i have found that seems to be best suited to the
In this video, i will use an old photocopy machine bldc motor to make a 220v low rpm AC Brushless Generator for running home appliances like lights and fans . In this video, i will
Abstract: In this paper, the advanced control methods to minimize torque ripple and to maximize power density of a brushless DC (BLDC) motor/generator system in electric
If the generator is used to do brushless dc motor work, its own conditions are not appropriate, it has no way to achieve speed regulation function. Therefore, brushless DC motor is not suitable for being used as a generator, and it is impossible for a generator to replace a brushless dc motor. Plz Calculate (9 - 5) =. (Your comment will show
It may surprise design engineers that both Brushed DC and Brushless DC (BLDC) motors can operate as generators. A brushed DC motor is appropriate for generator
Cranking an old 14 volt Makita drill to generate current.
Feb 18, 2019 at 19:19. 1. @MarcusMüller Remove controller and drive motor mechanically and a BLDC is a pure ac generator. Add 6 diodes and it works like a car alternator. Given the variety of BLDC motors, including low rpm used in electric bikes, and they are the optimum choice as a generator. – StainlessSteelRat.
What''s the best way to turn a high-powered brushless DC motor optimized for hobby use into a decent low-RPM generator? Do you take a purely mechanical approach and slap a gearbox on the
Brushless motors are 3 phase ac motors. The ESC provides 3 phase ac current to run it. To use it as a generator, you don''t need a controler; you need only rectify the 3 phase output. Do remember, you have to spin that motor at an rpm equal to the KV rating times the desired voltage (no load). Under load, you have to spin it faster to
Sunil Kedia. Design engineers know that both brush DC and brushless DC (BLDC) motors can operate as generators, but many tend to avoid running brushed DC motors in generating mode because they
Both brushed and brushless DC (BLDC) motors can be operated as generators. However, there are some important points to consider when designing the drive. Here are five rules for making a
The old motor is not powerful enough, so I upgraded to a stronger, brushless motor with 5000w power rating. Here''s the problem: as I unspool the line from this motor, it builds torque until it reaches a certain value (130lb in my case), and then the current and torque suddenly drop to zero and then build up again, then drop again.
hello everybody, following a discussion of 2012: Using a Turnigy Brushless Outrunner Motor as a GENERATOR where Ron Van sommeren and Bruce ott gave a relevant contribution There are some threads below in the - Similar Threads - list. But I have to
aka: A.Roger Wilfong. As Lancer noted, the motor is similar to the alternator found in cars of the last 50 years. Despite common beliefs, brushless motors are not DC devices, but are 3-phase AC devices. One of the functions of the ESC to to convert DC from the battery into 3-phase AC for the motor. If the motor is spun, it will generate 3
generators can be optimized using FEA techniques, provided appropriate figure(s) of merit and performance metrics are utilized as design objectives and constraints. A BLDC generator for energy-harvesting was designed to produce 50-200 watts at shaft
Turning a DC motor into a generator looks like very straightforward: mount and forget. However, in the case of low-power projects (mine is a small desk-on vertical axis wind turbine) there are
Things looked even better when the windings were rewired from delta to wye configuration. The take-home lesson is probably to use a generator where you need a generator and let motors be motors
reliability. it can work in harder conditions (brushed motors have much worse tolerance for humidity, dust etc.) no brushes friction. no brushes voltage drop. smaller rotor inertia (same power brushless motor is smaller) generally better by design. Add a comment. 18.8k.
ft rotation and is given as:Equation (1)When operating the motor as a generator, the shaft is mechanically coupled and rotated by an external source, causing the coil segments in the rotor to rotate through a sinusoid. lly varying magnetic flux in the air gap. Each turn of the rotor winding is induced with sinusoidal voltage, with the speed of
