The key operating characteristics are considered, and we look at how these can be modified to meet the needs of some applications through detailed design. The limits of operation are investigated for the induction machine operating as both a motor and a generator. Methods of speed control which are not dependent on changing the frequency of the stator supply are also explored. ...
