Abstract :
Hydroelectric generators of less than 20 kW can be served only by a single-phase line in remote areas. For high efficiency and low cost, a three-phase induction generator should be used. This three-phase generator can operate with balanced voltages and currents when the ``phase-splitting´´ circuit uses two capacitors connected to two different single-phase voltage sources.
