Abstract :
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 performance advantages over the classic Ferraris-Arno system, which uses an induction pilot machine.
