THREE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR CONVERSION TO THREE PHASE INDUCTION GENERATOR USING CAPACITORS

Abstract

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the conversion the three phase induction motors (IM) to run as three phase induction generator (IG) by using capacitors which proportional to the load power and the generator power. The potential of these capacitors must not be less than 450 V and connected in parallel with three phase output. The generator must be run on full load to balance the inductive loads which connect on generator with the capacitive loads. The experimental results indicate that the three phases IM with high power reaches to 90 KW can be lead as three phases IG with power (112.5 KVA).
