What Generators Can Run on 12 kgm Torque and Their Current Output?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on identifying generators capable of operating with a torque output of 12 kgm (120 Nm) at a rotational speed of 60 rpm. The calculated power output is 0.75 kW, which translates to a current output based on the voltage used. Participants suggest researching generators that can handle a power requirement of 750 watts, although this may be considered low for certain applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of torque and rotational speed calculations
  • Familiarity with power calculations (P = T * π * N / 30000)
  • Knowledge of generator specifications and ratings
  • Basic electrical concepts, including current and voltage relationships
NEXT STEPS
  • Research generators with a minimum output of 750 watts
  • Learn about torque specifications in generator applications
  • Investigate the relationship between power, current, and voltage in electrical systems
  • Explore different types of generators suitable for low-power applications
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, project managers, and technicians involved in mechanical and electrical systems, particularly those focused on generator selection and torque applications.

My project produces 12 kgm torque so,I need a list of Generator which runs on 12 kgm torque and how much Current it produces... Please advise

At what speed does your prime mover apply 12Nm?

It rotates at 60 rpm
 
So using the torque and rpm, calculate the power (and current is power divided by voltage). Then you can just google for generators that are of that capacity.
 
okay so 12 kgm torque is 120 Nm and speed is 60 rpm...So using this formula P=T*pi*N/30000
Power is .75 kw.
Now a generator which runs on 750 watts...okay that's a little low...
Thanks
