When does an induction motor/generator act like a motor and when does it act like a generator?

What will be an ideal response?


In the case of an asynchronous motor, the rotor spins less than the synchronous speed of the field; as a generator, it spins faster than the synchronous speed. An induction generator always starts out as an induction motor until it passes the synchronous speed.
