 Topic: D-R starter-geneator
Posted: 28 Nov 2018 at 12:25pm |
OK, for the gurus...
can a regular starter be used as a 'starter-generator'. I can't see why not,providing it's wired up right but... I gotta ask !

also on my B-112. I have a lot of generators here, thought I could 'repurpose' them instead of scrapping them.

IIRR, the saying goes, all motors can generate, but not all generators can motor...
or, in simple terms, yes but only if set up right...  |

No. The issue is, yes, it can but a starter built to just be a starter is not designed for sustained running. it will 'cook' pretty quick

Generators can be but starters I would be questioning of doing it as they run on bushings not bearings - to test a generator you can motor it - on a starter they are made for high torque and intermittent draw as the field winding's will overheat quickly

again, Jay in theory, yes, but a generator will not have as high of torque, and will not put up with high current draw.
