Talk:Induction generator

message: Self excitation of induction generators is an interesting and complex phenomenon, and should not be dismissed. Many machines will build up flux from a residual if some phase shifting system is employed, such as resonant capacitors.
This can be a virtue or a problem. The process involves a transistion from synchronous operation based on residual flux and load reactance, to a chaotic establishment of slip.
There is much published information on this subject.
: Please add links to relevant articles, I for one would be interested. Thanks! Madhu 12:56, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Google seems to suggest that 'induction generator' seems to be the standard term for this kind of generator. The general article for generators is at Electrical generator, and the specific usage of the term is clear from the introduction. The naming guidelines seems to support the current usage, since it's the most common and doesn't seem to overlap.Rememberway (talk) 21:30, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

message: In the "Example Application" section, I disagree with the assertion for determining the frequency, as well as the fact that no information is given regarding how to regulate the output voltage.
The statement, "Prime mover speed should be used to generate frequency of 60 Hz" inherently conflicts with the statement "Required prime mover speed N = 1800 + Slip = 1840 rpm."
Instead, the capacitance should be increased or decreased to obtain the desired frequency.  Also, the absolute value of the negative slip should be increased or decreased to raise or lower the output voltage respectively.  For a fixed load, the voltage will be very sensitive to small changes in slip.  Furthermore, the load should be limited so that the current in the windings doesn't exceed the current that would exist when operated as a motor. Jdaq (talk) 20:40, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible Correction to "Example Application" section 

message: The sentence: Induction generators and motors produce electrical power when their rotor is turned faster than the synchronous speed. is rather incomprehensable. It suggests something like the synchronous speed is a characteristic property of an induction generator. Nijdam (talk) 10:27, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: That's probably why there's several paragraphs after that sentence. Either synchronous speed is a characteristic propery of an induction generator, or else an induction generator has no characteristic properties. --Wtshymanski (talk) 14:36, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  So what part of the sentence give trouble?  The next sentence explains typical synchronous speeds, with no more than the usual Wikibaffle. --Wtshymanski (talk) 18:03, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Slip ring (together with carbon brushes) provides contact from power supply to rotating rotor.
On the other hand, commutator (together with carbon brushes) provides contact from power supply to the rotating and ensures current changes direction in every half cycle Yoonghm (talk) 10:21, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
