OBSERVATION:

The blocked rotor test is a type of performance test conducted on a three-phase induction motor to
determine its rotor and stator parameters. During the test, the motor is prevented from rotating by locking its
shaft, and then a three-phase supply is applied to the stator windings while measuring the current, voltage, and
power consumed. This test helps to determine the resistance and reactance of the motor's rotor, as well as the
stator winding's resistance and leakage reactance. The test is crucial in assessing the motor's performance and
identifying any potential issues such as faults, unbalanced phases, or insufficient power supply.

Based on our data results, it shows that in this kind of test, the speed was 0rpm and the angle was
constant at the given value. The table shows that when we input 10V, it produces current load (IL) 0.8A,
generating a total copper loss (Pcu) of 16.22W, and the power input (Pin) was 12.08W. When the voltage
increased to 30V, all the parameters increased as well. IL increased from 0.8A to 2.3A, Pcu reached 140.91W
from its initial value of 16.22W, and lastly, Pin increased to 104.21W from 12.08W. At a 50V supply, IL became
3.8A, Pcu became 388.68W, and lastly, Pin became 286.97W. As we can see, all the parameters increased as the
voltage increased. However, when we surpass the maximum voltage rating and supply more than 50V, for
example, 60V, the IL will remain constant at 3.88A, the same as at 50V. However, the only things that will
increase here are the Pcu and Pin.

CONCLUSION:

Based on the graph below showing the relationship between Voltage supply and Total Copper Loss, we
can see that as the voltage increases, the copper losses also increase. Therefore, we can conclude that the
voltage supply is directly proportional to the total copper loss.

On the graph showing the relationship between Line Current and Total Copper Losses, we can see that
as the current increases, the copper losses also increase. Therefore, we can conclude that the line current is
directly proportional to copper losses.

Finally, when we look at the graph showing the relationship between Voltage Supply and Line Current,
we can see that as the voltage increases, the current also increases. Therefore, we can conclude that the voltage
supply is directly proportional to the line current. However, at some point, when the line current reaches its
maximum value, even if we increase the voltage supply, the line current will not exceed its maximum value and
will remain constant at its maximum current value.

OBSERVATION:

The no-load test is a test performed on a three-phase induction motor where the motor is operated
without any mechanical load on its shaft. The motor is connected to a three-phase AC supply and allowed to run
at its rated speed while its input power, line currents, and voltages are measured. The no-load test helps
determine the iron losses or core losses, magnetizing current, and efficiency of the motor at no load. This
information is useful in predicting the motor's performance under load conditions and optimizing its operation.

Based on our data below, it shows that when we adjusted our supply voltage to 50V, the speed remained at
0rpm, but the load current (IL) increased significantly, reaching 3.82A, and the Total Copper loss (Pcu) had a
rated value of 397.08W, while the Power input (Pin) was 288.5W. However, when the voltage increased and
reached 126V, the speed increased to 1445rpm. The IL and Pcu decreased and had measured values of 1.17A
and 37.39W, respectively, while the Pin measured 124.96W lower than its initial value. As we continued to
increase the supply voltage and reached 250V, we observed a slight increase in speed from its previous
measured value, rising from 1445 to 1472rpm. However, we also observed an increase in the IL and Pcu
compared to their previous values. The IL rating increased from 1.17A to 2.20A, and the Pcu rating increased
from 37.39W to 55.87W. Additionally, the Power input (Pin) measured 316.43W higher than the first two
measurements. When we reach 416V, the IL and Pcu reach 3.44A and 321.72W. and lastly the Pin become
417.62W.

CONCLUTION:

Based on the data, we can conclude that the voltage is directly proportional to the speed. When we
closely examine the graph of the voltage and speed relations, we observe that when we increase the voltage,
the current also increases until it reaches its maximum rated voltage value.

When considering the relationship between line current (IL) and Pcu in an induction motor, if the supply
voltage is not enough or does not reach 126V, the motor will not rotate, but the load current will increase and
generate more copper loss. This is because the current causes too much copper loss when the voltage supply is
insufficient. If the voltage supply is increased to 126V or higher, the motor will begin to rotate, and its speed will
increase. At the same time, the load current and copper losses will decrease, resulting in improved motor
efficiency.

Lastly, Insufficient voltage can also cause the power input to increase significantly due to copper loss.
