FUSE RATING:

125% of 7.6A=10A

PRECAUTIONS:

NO LOAD TEST:

 Initially TPST Switch is kept open.

 Autotransformer is kept at minimum potential position.
 The machines must be started on no load.
BLOCKED ROTOR TEST:

 Initially the TPST Switch is kept open.

 Autotransformer is kept at minimum potential position.
 The machine must be started at full load(blocked rotor).

PROCEDURE:

NO LOAD TEST:

1. Connections are given as per the circuit diagram.

2. Precautions are observed and the motor is started at no load.
3. Autotransformer is varied to have a rated voltage applied.

BLOCKED ROTOR TEST:

1. Connections are given as per the circuit diagram.

2. Precautions are observed and motor is started on full load or blocked rotor position.
3. Autotransformer is varied to have rated current flowing in motor.
4. Meter readings are the noted.

FORMULAE-

NO LOAD TEST-

 cos Ф = Wo/VoIo
 Iw = Io cosФ
 Im = Io sin Ф
 Ro = Vo/Iw
 Xo = Vo/Im

BLOCKED ROTOR TEST-

Z01= Vsc/Isc Ω
R01 = Wsc/Isc2 Ω
X01 = √(Z012 – R012) Ω
