Source stabilization of a single-phase induction motor pump configuration for a swimming pool in South Africa

Abstract

In this paper the authors investigate the effect of source stabilization on the energy consumption and harmonic distortion of a single-phase induction motor pump configuration for a swimming pool in South Africa. The design of the source stabilization system together with the power dissipation at different cut-off frequencies is provided. Results on the energy consumption and harmonic distortion for the following two scenarios are provided: 1) normal operating condition and 2) improved operating condition (where the source stabilization system has been activated)
