Default Another sparkies question about generators

It will be good for the same amount of current and therefore the same
amount of wattage if the voltage is the same. What are you trying to
do and what kind of motor are you thinking of using? Induction motors
will work well especially if you use the grid to excite them.

If a motor is used as a generator will it put out about the same
wattage as it consumes when used as a motor?
