How can an induction A.C. motor act as a generator? They have no
armature winding and any residue magnetism in the field will not create
a current in the non-rotating field. A a.c.-d.c. motor is a series motor. It will output a uncontrolled d.c. voltage if used as a generator, If it outputs anything at all. a three phase a.c. motor is also an induction motor. If you put a.c. into one winding you will get a.c. out of the other windings if it is rotating, but it is just acting like a transformer not a generator. Ralph V
