Connections between motor and dynamo

[Motordynamo]

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to find out if it is possible to make such connection.

Main supply power up Motor B, Motor B uses its mechanical load to run Dynamo B, Dynamo B generate electricity to power up Motor A.

Is it possible for such connection? I have made such setup and I realize that Motor A does not have sufficient amount of power to run it. Is there any difference in connection from usual for such connection?

Having a mains motor to drive a generator to drive another motor was once quite a common arrangement for providing higher power variable speed drives . There are still a few around but electronic motor controllers usually provide a better solution nowadays .

Look up Ward-Leonard drives .
