Slide2

The Induction Motor is perhaps the most common type of electric motor in the world

• Power input and output can be measured directly to calculate a small motor's efficiency.

• Starting current drawn by an induction motor can be from five to seven times the typical value.

• The high starting currents are mitigated through the use of various methods such as:

• Star delta starter

• Auto transformer starter

• And other starting methods.

Slide 3

• Modeling an induction motor reveals that its two branch circuits run in parallel.

• Magnetizing component circuit

• Reactance and resistance in a circuit

• In an induction motor, the load does not affect the proportion of the current that is used to
magnetize the rotor to the supplied voltage

Slide 4

There are three tests that must be conducted by connecting Different circuits in order to find the
parameters of the equivalent circuit of the given.

This is necessary so that we can find and investigate different solutions for the high starting currents of
induction machines

Slide 5

• Knowing the value of R1 (stator resistance) allows us to deduct it from the total resistance when
calculating the rotor's resistance (R2).

Slide 6

The load is disconnected from the motor, and the rated voltage and frequency are applied to the stator

Slide 7

• The block rotor test is performed to determine

• the short circuit current 𝐼𝑠𝑐

• power factor at short circuit 𝑐𝑜𝑠 ф𝑠𝑐

 • total equivalent resistance 𝑅01 and reactance 𝑋01

The Tests Steps:

1.DC test method:

• We Connected the circuit as required for this test then we adjusted the variable supply voltage
(dc) until the current is equal to the rated current.

2- No load test:

• we Start the induction motor without load by gradually increasing the supply voltage to its rated
value.

3- Blocked Rotor Test

• We Clamped the rotor so that it can’t move, we didn’t supply normal voltage when the

rotor is locked as it will cause a large current to flow through the stator windings and overheat it.

Result from DC Test

• At no load test we Measured the input power, current, voltage, speed

• Table 2 No Load Test results

Slide 10

Result from No Load Test

• At no load test we Measured the input power, current, voltage, speed

Slide 11

• Blocked Rotor Test

• Also, at Blocked rotor test we measured the input power, current, voltage, speed Table 3
Blocked Rotor Test results

Slide 12

According to the results of the above testes now we need to find some parameters from each test and
then we will collect those parameters and draw the equivalent circuit

Values from DC Test:

For dc test we will find DC resistance R1 and the AC resistance R1(ac).

Because we are using a Y-connection, we will use the next formula to find R1 DC:

𝑅1𝐴𝐶 = 48.928 Ω
Slide 13

• No Load Test

Slide 14

• Blocked Rotor Test

• 𝑋𝐵𝑅,1 =119.82Ω

• 𝑋𝐵𝑅,2 = 29.955Ω

• 𝑋1 = 0.5𝑋𝐵𝑅,1 = 59.9Ω

• 𝑋2 = 0.5𝑋𝐵𝑅,1 = 59.9Ω

• 𝑋𝑀 = 𝑋𝑁𝐿 − 𝑋1 = 666.38Ω

Slide 15

Now after calculation, we can draw the equivalent circuit with the following parameters:
𝑅1 = 48.928 Ω
𝑅2 = 52.522Ω
𝑋1 = 59.9Ω
𝑋2 = 59.9Ω
𝑋𝑀 = 666.38Ω

Slide 16
Through our application of this project, we were able to learn a lot of important things in the field of
electromechanical machines.

We were able to understand more about how to change the values of the resistors and the files about
doing the three tests

We take all these values and draw the final equivalent circuit and calculate the power loss resulting
from combined friction, windage
