    THEORY:
    Just like DC machines an induction machine can
    also be used as a motor as well as a generator without any
    internal modifications. Induction generators are also known as
    asynchronous generators. As we already known that rotor of
    an induction motor rotates at a speed close to the synchronous
    speed that is slightly less than the synchronous speed. It is
    because the rotor continuously falls back to a speed less than
    the synchronous speed as no torque and EMF is induced in the
    rotor. When the rotor rotates at synchronous speed consider
    the above statements now provide AC supply across the stator
    terminals of an induction machine. The RMF is produced in the
    air gap and the rotor follows the RMF and starts rotating. Now
    assume that the induction motor is running at synchronous
    speed using a prime mover. No current will be induced in the
    rotor as the relative speed is zero. When the motor is running
    at a speed greater than the synchronous speed the slip will be
    negative and generating current will be induced in the rotor in
    the opposite direction. It also induces a RMF in the air gap and
    gets linked with stator field. This induces an EMF in the stator
    field which pushes a current flowing out of the stator against
    the supplied voltage. Now the machine is working as an
    induction generator. An induction generator is not a self-excited
    machine, therefore when running as a generator, machine
    takes reactive power and supplies active power. An induction
    machine requires reactive power for excitation whether it is
    running as a motor or a generator. When an induction
    generator is connected to the grid it takes reactive power from
    the grid to supply a load without using an external source. A
    capacitive bank is connected across the terminals to supply
    reactive power to the load and the machine.
    FORMULA:
    To find efficiency,
    Input power to generator = Output power of
    motor
    Pin = EbIa = VaIa – Ia2Ra
    Pout = W1+ W2
    Efficiency = P in/ Pout * 100 (%)

    MODEL GRAPH:
    PROCEDURE:
     Ensure all connections are made as per the Circuit
    Diagram.
     Provide Supply across the stator of prime mover,
    cut down the armature rheostat and set the rated
    voltage.
     By varying the field rheostat of prime mover adjust
    the required speed
     Provide AC supply to the generator stator
    terminals.
     Provide necessary field excitation to the generator
    to reach rated voltage.
     Note down the no-load readings.
     Gradually increase the loads and note down
    readings.
     Switch OFF the supply after positioning the
    rheostat properly.

    RESULT:
    Thus, the performance characteristics of 3 φ
    Induction generator were analysed.
