Without seeing the nameplate descriptions of a rotating
machine,Is it possible to say which one is a motor and
which one is a generator?
How would you certain this?

Answer Posted / iamdon

Dear Amit,
Your statement is right except the last line.As long a
machine is in motoring mode it will only take electrical
energy as input not the mechanical enegry.

In the question asked, the intention was to find the
difference on a practical ground.We all are very much aware
of the difference on various techanical grounds but a
laymen would not understand the terms like stator,magnetic
field,armature etc.For them FULLY CLOSED and SEMI CLOSED
are quite easy to interprete.Hope now you agree.
