Abstract :
This paper describes a newly developed single phase capacitor self excited induction generator with self regulating features, suitable for oil engine driven portable gen-sets for autonomous/standby power generation. The system is also suitable for microhydel and wind energy systems. The generator has two specially designed stator windings in quadrature, connected externally to a shunt and a series capacitor respectively. It employs a standard die-cast squirrel cage rotor. Special features, advantages and theoretical concepts of the system are highlighted
