What is the formula to solve for RPM to volatage output in a generator

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the voltage output of a generator based on RPM, it's essential to understand the type of generator, whether AC or DC. For a DC generator, the voltage output can be determined using the formula V = k * Φ * N, where V is voltage, k is a constant, Φ is magnetic flux, and N is RPM. In the case of an AC generator, the voltage output can be calculated using V = 4.44 * f * Φ, where f is the frequency in hertz. Knowing only the RPM may not provide enough information to solve for voltage without additional variables like magnetic flux or frequency. Understanding the generator's setup is crucial for accurate calculations.

can anyone tell me how to solve for the voltage output in a generator and all the variables needed to solve it. What if I only have the RPM can I solve it?

thanks

Um, how is the generator set up? Is it an AC generator? And does RPM refer to round/minute?

It is a DC generator but I would also like to know how to solve it in an AC generator. How can I calculate the voltage output in relation to Rounds Per Minute?
