Abstract
This research is purposed to establish a new method is good and simple to operate the 3-phase induction motor on single-phase power by using the capacitors. The research was conducted at the Laboratory of the Electrical Engineering of the Padang Institute of Technology. The object used in this research was the 3-phase induction motor that has the standard of 2 HP, 380 V, Wye connection, 4 pole, 50 Hz, 1400 RPM, 3.6 A. The results of this research showed that the method could work well to control the motor to operate properly to load 85% of the 3-phase rating. In general, the motor has a better performance when operating on 1-phase power system in all load cases (low and high load). The motor could operate with power factor close to unity, higher speed and better efficiency. The motor operated with higher current harmonic distortion at low loads but lower current harmonic distortion at high loads. Therefore, it is very good to operate the motor at high load up to 85% of the 3-phase rating.
