would a typical electric motor 220v work on car battary?

Question

i want to supply a normal electric 220volt motor with a typical car battary ...would it work ? how many car battary will i need ?

Answer 1

No... the car battery works on DC while that motor works on AC. U need a DC motor to work on a car battery. Also your car battery supplies 12V (DC) and your motor requires 220V (AC)...

P.S. It's not worth buying an inverter....it costs the same as a motor in many cases (depending on characteristics and such)

Answer 2

No such information is available, because there aren't any production electric cars. The Tesla won this year's Vaporware award for not existing outside of advertisments, and there haven't been any others. There likely won't be any, either: the economy isn't likely to support a lot of experimental vehicles in the next couple of years. You also might wish to think about the heater. The GM EV1 had a heat pump that really pulled battery power, which is one reason they only leased the car in southern California. Beyond that, an electric would probably handle as well as any car in icy conditions; the battery would be pretty sluggish below 20 degrees or so but would heat up in use. Even electrics are better than hydrogen cars, because nobody's determined just where the hydrogen is supposed to come from (there aren't any hydrogen wells.) While you're counting all your big money savings from electric cars, consider that they need roads, and thus the states are going to have to start assessing road taxes from them. Probably there will be an odometer that can be read with an RFID wand, like that on your water meter. Then you'll get a nice bill in the mail, and it won't be cheap: consider the proportion of the price of gasoline that consists of taxes.

Answer 3

A car battery is a bit over 13 v of DC. A 220 V motor runs on A.C.
You will need an inverter to change the DC to AC and then a step up transformer to get to 220 V. Just recall that there is no free lunch and power = voltage X current so even with 100% efficiency a motor running on 220 V drawing 10 amps will need about 170 amps at 13 volts. I would just buy a new motor that will run directly off the battery. Even if you paralleled around 20 batteries to get to 220 volts, you 'll still need the inverter.

Answer 4

Won't work. A 220V motor is at least single-phase AC and might even be 3-phase AC. A DC battery, no matter what the voltage, will not run this motor.

Answer 5

The first problem that you would encounter is that the electric motor is alternating current and the battery is direct current. I am not sure such a thing exists, but you would need a converter from direct current to alternating and you would have to hook up 19 12 volt batteries in series to develop 228 volts. Not real practical, get a long extension cord.

Answer 6

------------
Not practical due to the DC versus AC problem, plus the big voltage difference. But what are you trying to do? If you're looking for the cheapest way to experiment with an electric car, here's a guy selling a kit to convert a car to electric:

These kits start at only $1495. They are based on a surplus aircraft starter motor. Please note, you will not get a great electric car tyhis way, you will get a barely functional one, but it could be a good starting project.

Answer 7

220v is an AC voltage, car batteries are DC

DC is 1 phase of AC so I think your answer is No

Answer 8

no 220v = ac car battery =dc

Answer 9

Ahhh No! DC motors are available- try that instead.

Answer 10

Why would you use a 240v motor in a 12v system???
