Abstract :
In this paper a method is presented for calculating the limits of self-excitation in capacitor induction motors when the motors are disconnected from the power source and operating at constant speed. Practical means are suggested for the suppression of self-excitation and test data are given which confirm the soundness of the conclusions.
