Umhlangano we-rotor usetshenziswa kabanzi emikhakheni eminingi. Iyingxenye ebalulekile yemoto, ukushayela imishini yezimboni, izinto zasendlini kanye nezinye izinto zokusebenza. Iphinde idlale indima ebalulekile ku-generator kanye ne-starter motor yemoto. Izakhiwo eziphakeme kazibuthe zingakha insimu enamandla kazibuthe endaweni encane, futhi ukuzinza okuhle kungaqinisekisa ukusetshenziswa okuthembekile kwesikhathi eside. Ukwesekwa komkhiqizo ngokwezifiso, ukucaciswa kanye nemingcele yokusebenza yomhlangano we-rotor kungenziwa ngokwezifiso ngokuya ngezidingo zamakhasimende ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezimo ezihlukahlukene zohlelo lomuntu siqu.
