A three-phase, self-excited reluctance generator with capacitive excitation is described and analyzed using the two-axis theory developed for synchronous machines, magnetic saturation being accounted for by the use of a variable direct-axis magnetizing reactance. Experimental results are found to be in close agreement with theoretical calculations.
