The paper describes a self-excited induction generator connected through a controlled rectifier to a resistance load with no smoothing reactor. A harmonic analysis of the rectifier input current is presented. The current harmonics cause distortion of the generator voltage waveform, and the possibility of harmonic resonance exists.
