Converting A 3 Phase Motor Into A 3 Phase Generator or Single Phase Generator (c-2c)

This document discusses converting a 3 phase motor into a 3 phase or single phase generator. It provides the nameplate information and calculations for a motor's power, voltage, current, frequency, and rpm. It then shows the calculations needed to determine the capacitor values, reactance, and current required to convert the motor to a generator based on its power factor, reactive power, and slip rate. Diagrams are also included to illustrate connecting the motor windings and capacitors in wye or delta configurations.
