Dynamic performance analysis of novel series-connected capacitor-run three-phase induction motor fed by single-phase supply

This paper presents the analysis of the dynamic performance of a series-connected capacitor-run three-phase induction motor fed by single-phase power supply. The dynamic model was developed in Simulink based on stationary abc reference frame on stator and rotating dq0 reference frame on rotor. The model was validated by experimental results. The dynamic performance of the proposed connection was studied and compared with that of the regular three-phase induction motor. The effect of the capacitance on the fluctuations of the torque and speed and the acceleration time was investigated and suggestions were given for optimum balanced operation.
