Chapter 6—Asynchronous Generators 6–26<br />

Figure 14 shows the variation of terminal voltage with input mechanical power for the<br />

40-hp machine mentioned earlier. The rated voltage is 230 V line to line or 132.8 V line to<br />

neutral. Actual line to neutral voltages vary from 90 to 150 V for the data presented here.<br />

Figure 14: Variation of output voltage with input shaft power for various resistive and capacitive<br />

loads for a 40-hp self-excited induction generator.<br />

All resistance was disconnected from the machine in order to establish oscillation. Once a<br />

voltage close to rated value was present the load was reconnected and data collected. Voltage<br />

buildup would not occur for speed and capacitance combinations which produce a final voltage<br />

of less than 0.8 or 0.9 of rated. For example, with 285 µF of capacitance line to line, the voltage<br />

would not build up for speeds below 1600 r/min. At 1600 r/min the voltage would slowly<br />

build up over a period of several seconds to a value near rated. The machine could then be<br />

operated at speeds down to 1465 r/min, and voltages down to 0.7 of rated before oscillation<br />

would cease.<br />
