induction regulators
(OP)
Dear Friends, Someone told me it is possible to convert a slip ring motor into a variable voltage transformer? If so what would be the set-up. I am wanting to change a 500 HP. 6 pole slip ring motor into an induction regulator so I can vary the voltage from zero upwards. The motor is 416v 3 phase with rotor voltage of 480v 50 cycle .Thanking you if you could help , Regards . William Tyree

Maybe this will help
RE: induction regulators
- If you buy new equipment using this approach these transformers are not derived from standard induction motor designs, but purpose built.
- If you convert an existing machine into such a variable transformer, consider that you need an independent blower to provide sufficient cooling at standstill.
