The Static Kramer Drive controls the speed of an induction motor by injecting opposite-phase voltage into the rotor circuit. This injected voltage increases the rotor’s resistance, which in turn controls the motor’s speed. By adjusting the voltage, both the resistance and speed are regulated. The static Kramer Drive converts the slip power, which is the unused energy between the stator...
