The Active Power of an Induction Generator with a Single Excitation Capacitor at Different Ways of the Load Switching

At present it's known about autonomous induction generator excitation by using three capacitors. In the article the results of experimental research on induction generator excitation by using a single capacitor have been considered. The article considers various methods of connecting the load to the induction generator stator winding terminals. The dependences of the active power generated by the induction generator on the rotor speed and the load current, for different values of the excitation capacitor capacitance have been obtained. Conclusions about the more preferable connection of a single excitation capacitor and the load when using a single excitation capacitor have been made.
