SINGLE-PHASE DRIVE SYSTEM WITH A SYNCHRONOUS-PHASE CONVERTOR
A new form of single-phase ac drive system is described, in which an unloaded synchronous pilot machine is used as a single-phase to three-phase converter to provide supply to 3-phase induction motors. Theory, equivalent circuits and performance results are presented for both cylindrical and salient pilot machines. It is demonstrated that the system has advantages over the classic Ferraris-Arno system, which uses an induction pilot machine.
