This paper presents the performance study of self-excited single phase induction generator. This generator consists of a three-phase squirrel-cage induction machine and three capacitors connected in series and parallel with a single-phase load. An experimental set up of single phase induction generator driven by dc motor is presented to show the performance of the generator. The generator is tested with resistive, inductive, dynamic and non-linear loads. The results of voltage, frequency and efficiency of induction generator with respect to the output power with different types of loads are obtained. The results show good voltage regulation, small variation in the frequency and high efficiency of induction generator. The harmonic spectrums of output voltage with different types of load are obtained. These spectrums show no waveform distortions (sinusoidal output voltage).
