The generator's main use is to convert motion (from a shaft) into electrical power.

It can also convert electrical power into motion though this is very inefficient. Only 10% of the energy put in will actually be converted into usable power!

It won't do anything if it has nothing to transmit or accept electricity from, meaning it's safe to disconnect and reconnect to your electrical network.
