Abstract :
BECAUSE the induction generator has many advantages, it is desirable to consider what changes must be made, if any, in order that an induction motor may be operated satisfactorily as a generator. If the speed is driven above synchronism by the same number of revolutions that the machine normally operates below synchronism, the generator will deliver approximately rated current at rated voltage and rated efficiency. The electric power output will equal approximately the rated shaft motor power. The generator power factor will equal approximately the motor power factor times the motor efficiency.
