Is there reverse current flow in a generator during starting? If so, why?
When the generator is started, the so-called "reverse current" phenomenon may be observed, but this usually refers to the reverse electromotive force (Back EMF) that occurs at the moment of starting, rather than the true reverse current. The following explains this and why:Back EMF (electromotive force)When the generator first starts up, its rotor starts to rotate. According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, when the rotor cuts the magnetic field in the stator windings, an induced e
