Abstract :
Using passive elements and control to produce three-phase from single-phase is a robust, simple conversion technique that produces balanced three-phase voltage. The magnetic amplifier/saturable reactor is revisited and used as a control element in the converter which is designed to run a 15 kW induction motor for rural/remote water pumping applications
