Abstract
The utilization of the squirrel cage induction motor as an autonomous induction generator is briefly reviewed. In view of potential new applications, the discussion focuses on a simple exciter scheme based on using a static reactive power generator implemented with fixed capacitors and thyristor controlled inductors. The feasibility of the proposed scheme with naturally commutated thyristors is verified by measurements on a test setup employing a standard 15-hp induction motor.Keywords
