DISCUSSION

From the experiment, the result obtain from Part A, DC Resistance test shows that the
value of current per phase of the induction machine is almost equal. The data is recorded at
voltage at 5V. Since the value of current is almost the same and the voltage is fixed, the
calculated resistance current is almost equal. The average resistance is calculated to
determine the per phase delta resistance.
In the blocked rotor test, the rotor is not connected to the load but the rotor is hold
into place to prevent it from moving. In this test, the recorded value are line voltage, line
current, input power, rotor speed and also the torque. The value are all read and recorded in
Table 1. The controller variable in this test is the current that is the rated stator current of
5.5A.
In the no load test, the connection is set where the rotor is not connected to the load.
In this experiment the value are all according to the rated voltage that is 230V. The reading is
measure and recorded when the voltage has increase to the rated current. The measure data is
the line voltage, line current, input power, torque and also speed. From the data obtain, the
value of slip is calculated.
In Part B, the experiment is the load test, the rotor is connected to the delta connected
load. The constant variable in this experiment is the terminal voltage. The voltage must be
maintain at 230V. The load is increase gradually referring to the line current. The reading all
been recorded for 7 step based on the current. Each step the value of current, torque, speed
and power are recorded. Using the recorded data the value of efficiency, output power and
power factor are then calculated.
In Part C, the prediction of performance, the value of the current, input power, torque
and speed are all predicted until the value has the total of 15 steps. From the predicted data,
the value of output power, efficiency, and power factor are calculated. From the calculated
and predicted value, several graph has been plotted. The graphs are Current vs Torque,
Current vs Power, Current vs Efficiency, Current vs Speed and also Current vs Power Factor.

CONCLUSION

From the experiment from Part A, Dc resistance test, the value of current per phase is
almost the same. The voltage is set to a constant 5V. The value of the resistance per phase is
calculated using Ohms Law. Then the per-phase resistance is used to find the average
resistance.
In the blocked rotor test, the reading obtain are only from the stator part, the voltage,
current and also power. For the rotor part all the reading are zero (0). This is due to, in the
blocked rotor test, the rotor is hold into place to prevent it from turning. The static rotor has
no speed and torque and also the slip is zero.
The no load test occurs during the rated voltage. The torque reading is small. The
value of the rotor speed is almost equal to the stator speed, the reason the motor did not
achieve synchronous speed is due the internal resistance of the machine. The value recorded
are, voltage, current and power.
In Part B, the load test, the results show that the value input power and the output
power is kept increasing. The efficiency is dropping gradually as the load increase. The
torque increase almost linearly with the current. As for the speed, it kept decreasing as the
load increase. The power factor increase as the current and load increase.
In Part C, the predicted and calculated value are plotted into several graph. From the
graph the value of power factor in increasing, the torque is also increase and so as the input
and output power. The only value that is decreasing are the efficiency and the speed graph.
The problem encounter during this experiment is the torque meter is not working for
the whole experiment. This problem cannot be overcome or fixed, the only way to proceed
the experiment is to get the recorded value of torque from other group of the same experiment
on that day.
