Switching of Capacitors in an Asymmetric Induction Motor with Single-Phase Power, Triggering Several Applied Loads

Abstract

This study has as its objective to collaborate with the expansion in the market of electric energy in rural areas, offering as such an innovative prospect to the solution of associated problems through use of the asymmetric three-phase induction motor, supplied by a single-phase source. In this system, capacitor switching is applied during operation, while theoretical and practical results are presented for the application of this switching in a three-phase asymmetric induction motor of 20 hp.
