The Blocked Rotor Test of an induction motor is similar to the short circuit test of a transformer. In this test, the shaft of the motor is locked so that it cannot move and the rotor winding is short-circuited. In the slip ring motor, the rotor winding is short-circuited through the slip rings. In the …
No Load Test is an indirect method used for determining the efficiency and also to determine the circuit parameters of the equivalent circuit of the three-phase induction motors. The open-circuit test is performed on the transformer. The no-load test is the same as the open-circuit test performed on the transformer. In this method, the motor …
A three-phase Induction Motor is Self Starting. When the supply is connected to the stator of a three-phase induction motor, a rotating magnetic field is produced, and the rotor begins rotating and the induction motor starts. At the time of starting, the motor slip is unity, and the starting current is very large. The purpose …
The AC Motor and the DC Motor are differentiated on the various factors like the source or the nature of the power used in the motor. The commutation process, types, starting of the motor, a number of terminals. Applications of the motor, usage of brushes, and the maintenance cost of the motor. Content: AC Vs …
An Autotransformer Starter is suitable for both star and delta connected motors. In this method, the starting current is limited by using a three-phase autotransformer to reduce the initial stator applied voltage. The figure below shows the motor with the autotransformer starter: It is provided with a number of tappings. The starter is connected to …
The Star Delta Starter is a very common type of starter and is used extensively as compared to the other type of starting methods of the induction motor. A star delta is used for a cage motor designed to run normally on the delta-connected stator winding. The connection of a three-phase induction motor with a …
The Torque Slip Characteristic is represented by a rectangular hyperbola. For the immediate value of the slip, the graph changes from one form to the other. Thus, it passes through the point of maximum torque when R2 = sX20. The maximum torque developed in an induction motor is called the Pull Out Torque or the …

Torque Speed Characteristic is the curve plotted between the torque and the speed of the induction motor. We have already discussed the torque of the induction motor in the topic Torque Equation of an Induction motor. The equation of the torque is given as shown below: At the maximum torque, the speed of the rotor …

Direct On Line Starter method is a common method of starting of Cage Induction Motor. The motor is connected through a starter across the full supply voltage. The Direct On Line Starter Method figure is shown below. It consists a coil operated contactor C controlled by start and stop push button as shown in the …
In the article named Torque Equation of an Induction motor, we have seen the developed torque and its equation. Here, the Maximum Torque Condition of an induction motor is discussed. The torque produced in the induction motor mainly depends on the following three factors. They are the strength of the rotor current; the flux interacts …
