Influence of idling and short circuits on the self-excitation of a classical double-output induction generator

Experimental results for the capacitor self-excitation of an induction generator with a short-circuited phase rotor and a classical double-output induction generator are compared. The influence of the preceding conditions on the capacitor self-excitation of a classical double-output induction generator is the opposite of that for an induction generator with a short-circuited phase rotor. For the classical double-output induction generator, self-excitation is better after a three-phase short circuit than after idling.
