3 Phase Generator Circuit

--- Quote from: Windows9Professional on February 20, 2020, 05:38:28 pm ---For testing of an three phase induction motor I would need a powerful three phase generator (120° phase shifted).
Is there a simple circuit for this job?
I was thinking of an SPWM sine generator with just 3 lookup-tables for sinewaves which are simply 120° out of phase, but that seems a bit of overkill.

Analog and digital logic 3 phase oscillators are pretty easy to make but output power stages are not.

Like I said: I'm looking for an Low Voltage, three phase generator with reasonable current capability or for an DIY alternative

I was thinking of an H-Bridge with a low pass filter on the output for every phase, would that work?
Dave:
Electric motors are inductive, they don't need any filtering of the excitation voltage.

Low voltage and reasonable current. Gotcha. Now we know exactly what you need. :palm:

I don't think that ESCs for brushless DC motors will work since these are usually meant to operate with synchronous motors instead of asynchronous induction motors

I don't see why a brushless motor driver won't work. The simpler and dumber the drive, the greater chance it stands of working. Try a cheap one, they're not expensive.

Well mains is low voltage, so a standard variable frequency drive, would meet his requirements. :-DD
