Hi,
I have a small shaded pole AC motor that speeds to 3,000 rpm using single phase 120 volts AC.
Say I disconnect the power wires from this motor entirely and spin the motor shaft itself by a mechanical means to 3,000 RPM.
Will the motor now act as a generator? Should electrical power be available at the power wires leading into the motor. If so just what kind of electronic energy should be present if any?
Your response will be most appreciated.
Thanks, Tom
