what is capacitance required for seig
I would like to convert an induction machine (IM) to be a Self-Excited Induction Generator (SEIG). Besides running the prime mover above the synchronous speed of the IM, we also need to install capacitors in parallel with the IM.
Questions:
1) How to determine the capacitance required to convert an IM to SEIG?
2) Which type of capacitor is suitable for this application?
Hope that those who has done such project before would share your valuable experience here.
Thank you very much in advance.
