Theoretical analysis of a three-phase motor run by a single-phase supply using semiconductor phase-converter / Khairul Said Mohd Ali

The purpose of this project is to theoretical investigate the feasibility of running three-phase machine running under single-phase supply employing the use of semiconductor devices which can be more advantages when compared to static devices. Previous work by Brown and Jha[4], Herbermann[6] and Tozune[7] has proven that the three-phase motor could be1 run by a single phase converter. However the problem of the previous methods are with the phase converters that could not be control due to the work which is done by using a static devices. In this work solid state devices are used as and alternative to the phase converters. The attempt is made due to the capability of the solid state devices which could be controlled and optimum power could be cultivated from the machine.
