INTRODUCTION
Permanent magnet DC motors can be run as a DC generator without any modification. They are useful and indeed may be the best choice in systems producing up to 1kW. These notes describe the selection, sizing, performance, maintenance and repair of Baldor motors, which have proved themselves to be particularly suited to this application. They are based on the author’s experience dating from 1992 to 2000.
