Abstract :
A reduced topology phase-converter driving a three-phase induction motor is identified as a possible solution to the worldwide problem of operating large motors off single-phase supplies. The performance of the reduced topology phase-converter is evaluated, with particular reference to the harmonic content of the voltage waveforms and its effect on the starting and run-up torque of the three-phase induction motor
