Electrical machine is working either as a Generator or Motor.
I don't think a transformer counts as an electrical machine unless it is a rotary transformer. Biscuittin (talk) 20:14, 29 November 2010 (UTC) it is stationary electrical machine — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.50.49.9 (talk) 07:27, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
I think that a rotary Frequency changer does count as an electrical machine. Biscuittin (talk) 20:16, 29 November 2010 (UTC)shravan
Isn't the correct term "electric machine"? According to the IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronics Terms electric is defined as "containing, producing, arising from, actuated by or carrying electricity."(electric blanket; electric light) whereas by contrast, electrical means "relating to, pertaining to, or associated with electricity but not having its properties."

In old writings such as those of Thomas Young and John Imison, the word "electrical machine" refers to something that generates electricity by friction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.231.190.186 (talk) 18:10, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
Another classification of electromechanical machine operation is based on the direction of power flow. Given, that there is an electical port and a mechanical port. If power flows in the electrical port and out the mechanical port the machine is a motor. If power flows in the mechanical port and out the electrical port the machine is a generator. Power can not flow out both ports simultaneously. However, there is a mode, which the current discussion neglects, where power flows into both ports. This is an achievable configuration, it is termed braking mode. Many machines can be operated in all 3 realizable modes. --AJim (talk) 03:21, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
