Induction motor equivalent circuit from no-load and blocked rotor tests
Short answer
No‑load test (400 V, 10 A, 1400 W) gives shunt branch R0 = 114.29 Ω, X0 = 23.58 Ω. Blocked‑rotor test (200 V, 55 A, 7000 W) gives Req = 0.7713 Ω, Xeq = 1.9526 Ω. With R1 = 1.2×0.6 = 0.72 Ω: R2' = 0.0513 Ω, X1 = X2' = 0.976 Ω per phase.
Following data were obtained from no-load and blocked rotor test of a 400 V, star connected induction motor (line values).
| Test | Voltage | Current | Power |
|---|---|---|---|
| No load test | 400 V | 10 A | 1400 W |
| Blocked rotor test | 200 V | 55 A | 7000 W |
Calculate the equivalent circuit parameters per phase and draw the equivalent circuit referred to stator. Take DC resistance per phase of stator as 0.6 Ω. The effective stator resistance per phase is taken as 1.2 times its d.c value.
The no-load test gives the shunt (magnetizing) branch; the blocked-rotor test gives the series (leakage) branch. Star connection: phase voltage , phase current line current.
No-load test (400 V, 10 A, 1400 W)
( represents core plus friction and windage loss; the small stator Cu loss at no load is neglected.)
Blocked-rotor test (200 V, 55 A, 7000 W)
Separating stator and rotor values
(Equal split of leakage reactance is the usual assumption.)
