Induction generator revisited

[Shane Kennedy]

Main Question or Discussion Point

Can anyone tell me what effect the value of the capacitor in an induction generator has. I am generating 230V, at an unknown speed. I am not particularly concerned about the generated frequency, but I want to run the thing at higher revs, and would like to know whether I need to reduce the capacitance or increase it. I suspect, reduce, but as I don't have capacitors to hand, I would like to buy the right one.
