Precautions:

1. There should not be loose and wrong connections in the circuit

2. Initially there should be no load on the motor

Procedure:

1. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram.

2. Apply the rated voltage to the stator windings of 3  induction motor.
3. Note down the readings of all meters on no-load.
4. Load the induction motor in steps. At each step note down the readings of all
meters up to full load of the motor.
5. Gradually release the load and switch OFF the supply.
