Induction motor equivalent circuit from two-wattmeter tests
Short answer
Per‑phase equivalent circuit parameters (referred to stator): R0 = 88.89 Ω, X0 = 11.65 Ω; R1 = R2' = 0.1412 Ω, X1 = X2' = 0.1948 Ω.
The data obtained from the test of a 3-phase star connected, 400 V, 50 Hz induction motor are as follows: No-Load Test: V1 = 400 V, I0 = 20 A, W1 = 5000 W and W2 = −3200 W Blocked rotor test: VSC = 50 V, ISC = 60 A, W1 = 2300 W and W2 = 750 W Calculate the equivalent circuit parameters referred to stator side.
In the two-wattmeter method the total 3-phase power is the algebraic sum of the readings. The no-load test gives the shunt branch, the blocked-rotor test the series branch. Star connection: , .
No-load test
(The negative reading confirms pf below 0.5, as expected at no load.)
Blocked-rotor test
Stator resistance is not given, so the usual split is assumed:
Note: the power factors were found from using the measured V, I and total power; the ratio formula gives different values ( at no load and in the blocked-rotor test, against 0.130 and 0.587 here) because the given readings are not consistent with the measured V and I.
