What is the difference between induction generator and
synchronous generator?

Answer Posted / s c budhiraja

Syncronous generator runs at syncronous speed of the
system, where as induction generator runs at a speed which
is different from syncronous speed.

As an example if we remome DC excitation from a syncronous
generator and the generator remains connected to the system
AC voltage& the prime mover(turbine etc)Continues running,
the rotor will get excitation induced from the generator
Stator and the generator will continue running as induction
genrator.

Is a contactor (or master relay) required between incoming lines and a VFD? The question goes to safety. If a contactor were used before the VFD and an e-stop engaged then the motor will coast to a stop (i.e. VFD loses power) instead of stopping much faster if the VFD braking fucntion were used. It would make more sense to keep power on the VFD.
