Squirrel-cage induction motors (IM) are the workhorse of industries for variable speed applications in a wide power range that covers from fractional watt to megawatts. However, the torque and speed control of these motors is difficult because of

Abstract. The paper presents a squirrel-cage induction machine operating as a generator principally designed for use in small wind and hydroelectric power stations. The main advantages of such a generator are its high reliability, low price and cos
