Abstract :
The application of the induction frequency converter is not new, but its use for connecting together described in this paper were put in operation. This paper describes the rating and mechanical construction of the two units, with special attention to the induction machine. The testing of the machines was done after installation, and the results of these tests are given. The theory of the operation of the induction unit is developed, being simplified by neglecting losses and resistance, thus avoiding complicated equations, but securing results agreeing quite closely with the more accurate calculations. The behavior of the set under short circuits is discussed.
