 Abstract   A way of power factor correction of high power winding rotor induction motor is proposed. By using a voltage source with series connection to the rotor of induction motor, the unity power factor can be obtained. The amplitude and phase of the voltage source are variable and its frequency follows the rotor current frequency. A single phase to three phases cycloconverter to realize this voltage source is designed. This cycloconverter uses 12 thyristors and the control strategy is much simple than the traditional converter. Moreover, the control strategy ensures the soft-switching for thyristors. PSPICE simulation is performed to confirm the correction operation of control strategy. A prototype of a 400kW induction motor was developed, the results confirm the validity of the analysis. The power factor of induction motor reaches 0.97 and the system is robust to the variable load.
