Abstract
Induction generator is easy to durability and maintenance than the synchronous generator. So, recently Induction generator has been widely applied to small-scale hydroelectric power plant. When the rotor is operating faster than synchronous speed, induction machine can generate electric power. Induction generator has a large inrush currents, such as the starting current of the induction motor. Induction motor has been designed a variety of rotor shape in order to reduce starting current. Since the occurrence of high inrush current cause a voltage drop to the system, it will need to reduce possible. Because the starting current of the squirrel-cage induction motor varies in accordance with the rotor shape, it is necessary to analyze the magnitude of inrush current in order to apply to the generator. In this study, we analyzed the inrush current and the voltage drop caused in accordance with the rotor shape of 1500kw induction generator.
