Review of series connected wound rotor three phase induction motors

This paper presents the series connected wound rotor three phase induction motor, SCIM, research work previously reported in the literature with highlights on its performance characteristics, stability and the comparisons drawn with the conventional induction motor. Simulated results of the transient behavior of the SCIM are shown under different load conditions and a sequence of disruptive conditions, ex. unbalance supply, single phase to ground fault, open circuited phase and sudden phase reversal fault. The results confirm the sensitivity of such mode of operation under load and disruptive conditions.
