Abstract

This paper examines the performance of a three-phase interior permanent-magnet generator used in a portable ac generator when directly driving isolated single-phase (1-ph) ac loads. The performance of the generator was compared under three alternative connections: 1) 1-ph star; 2) 1-ph delta; and 3) a proposed “open delta” connection. The voltage regulation, total harmonic distortion, and efficiency as three main performance criteria of the portable generators were examined using analytical calculation, finite element simulation, and experimental measurements.
