    reactive current inrush on induction generators

    Yes, that's what I was thinking about, it's actually the fault that is taking large reactive current due the inductive nature of AC lines. That's really great,dpc, thanks a lot, you really helped me clarify things in my mind.

    reactive current inrush on induction generators

    Yes, that's true dpc, the fault was an external one , somewhere in the neighbourhood of the point of common coupling. So following your explanation, not only induction generators draw large reactive currents during faults in the network, but Synchrounous Generators as well, only, SG, do have a...

    reactive current inrush on induction generators

    Thanks dpc for your help. My question was of course large reactive currents of induction generators during faults. I just read in a paper that in some cases, caps are unable to support reactive power requirement of induction generators during faults. So dpc, you said that power factor is very...

    reactive current inrush on induction generators

    Hi, Could anyone tell me why does induction generators, like those installed on wind turbines,draw large reactive currents following a fault at its terminal ? Thanks in advance.
