Gentle Men
I am trying to build an �Induction Generator� using a three phase Asynchronous Electric Motor & need a little advice on how to connect the generator to the three phase 480-volt Grid?

The information I have from the internet doze not explain how to wire the generator in to the Grid?

The information I found on the internet is not clear about how to prevent the motor/ generator from running all of the time & consuming grid power, even when there is no wind or low wind, & still be able to connect to the grid when there is sufficient wind and the motor is generating power?

Thanks for any information or suggestions.
Best Regards
Wes LeMarr
