Comparison of theoretical & experimental performance curves
Fig 5. Torque – slip characteristics
Fig 6. Output power vs Torque
It is seen from Fig 5. that the torque increases steeply with slight increase in slip in the operatingregion. The experimental and the theoretical curves almost coincide.
From Fig 6. It is seen that output power and torque follow linear relationship and this holds good
even under practical conditions.
8/18/2019 induction Machine report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/induction-machine-report 13/24
Fig 7. Output power vs Line current
Fig 8. Output power vs Speed
From Fig 7. It is seen that the line current drawn experimentally is less than expected. This isdue to the experimental loading conditions which were far less than the rated load.
From Fig 8. It is seen that the experimental rotor speed is a bit less than the expected values.This is because of the mechanical losses which are unaccounted in the theoretical curve. It isalso seen that the speed reduces only by a few rpm.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/induction-machine-report 14/24
Fig 9. Output power vs % slip
Fig 10. Output power vs efficiency
It is seen in Fig 9. that the experimental slip is a bit more than the expected values. This is because of the the same reason as of speed, i.e the mechanical losses which are unaccounted in
the theoretical curve.

Fig 11. Output power vs Power Factor
Fig 12. Torque vs slip for varying supply voltage
The power factor increases with loading (Fig 11.) because, the mechanical load on the motor isseen as an equivalent resistive load. Thus, as the load increases, the motor becomes more and
more resistive, thus the power factor increases.

Fig 14. Torque vs slip for varying frequency
8/18/2019 induction Machine report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/induction-machine-report 17/24
Fig 15. Torque vs slip for constant v/f
The efficiency of the motor (Fig 10.) is low initially because under no load and small loadconditions, comparatively more power is dissipated in magnetization and losses than on theload. This is why efficiency is small initially. On loading, the power used on the load (i.e the
output power) increases, and the output power is larger than the rotor copper losses. Thus theefficiency increases. But after a limit, the losses start increasing and the curve gets flatter.
In Fig 12. It is seen that torque decreases with decrease in line voltage. This is because torque
is proportional to the square of the line voltage.
So, as voltage is decreased, the shaft torque also decreases
It is seen from Fig 13 that higher rotor resistance provides higher starting torque (atslip=1). The critical torque for all cases is same because it is proportional to (E2
2)/(2X2) which
remains constant. The slip increases with increase in rotor resistance because increased rotorresistance causes an increase in the rotor copper losses. This results in decrease in efficiency of
the machine.
From Fig 14 it is observed that the torque increases with decrease in frequency of thesupply. This is because of the fact that torque is inversely proportional to the synchronous
speed Ns as given by the above expression. As frequency is decreased, Ns also decreases,causing an increase in torque. But the machine must be designed to withstand high torques.
Since V = 4.44ΦKTf , we can say that, V/f = 4.44ΦKT. (K is constant, T is constant underrunning conditions) Flux decreases with decrease in Voltage but flux increases with decreasein frequency. Thus, when the v/f ratio is kept constant, the flux remains constant, thus the
critical torque is constant. But the speed of the machine decreases because the synchronousspeed decreases with decrease in supply frequency, thus the slip increases with decrease in
frequency.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/induction-machine-report 19/24
Fig 17. Power vs slip
75% Rated Voltage – Since torque is proportional to the square of voltage, the torque
decreases with decrease in applied voltage. Thus, speed decreases or slip increases with
decrease in voltage.
33 Hz - Torque increases with decrease in frequency because torque is inversely proportional
to Ns. This increase in torque causes the speed to improve, and the slip to decrease, as seen in
the graph.
33 Hz, constant v/f – when v/f is constant, but both V and f are decreased, the torque decreases
because torque is proportional to the square to voltage but inversely proportional to frequency.
But the stalling torque remains the same. The decreased torque causes the speed to reduce, or
the slip to increase which is reflected in the above graph.
4 R 2 – Since the rotor resistance is increased four times the actual value, the I2R losses in the rotor become so high that the torque reduces drastically. Due to increased losses, speed also decreases.
8/18/2019 induction Machine report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/induction-machine-report 20/24
Fig 18. Power vs Speed
75% Rated Voltage – Since Speed and torque are directly proportional to voltage, speed dips as
voltage is decreased.
33 Hz – Here, Ns becomes 990 since frequency is changed. So, the speed is very less compared to
rated operation. But the speed does not dip quickly. It is seen that the slop of the curve depends
on the voltage and not frequency.
33 Hz, constant v/f – Here also, Ns becomes 990 since frequency is changed. But, voltage is also
decreased, so the decrease in the speed is more compared to the previous case and it is observed in
the graph.
4 R 2 – The drastic increase in rotor resistance causes rotor copper losses to increase, and hence the speto decrease.
8/18/2019 induction Machine report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/induction-machine-report 21/24
Fig 19. Power vs power factor
75% Rated Voltage – When voltage is decreased, the flux produced in the motor decreases,
thus the reactive power supplied to the motor decreases, causing an increase in power factor.
33 Hz – With decrease in frequency, the flux produced in the machine increases, i.e the
reactive power required for the machine will increase. This increase in reactive power will
cause a decrease in power factor.
33 Hz, constant v/f – a decrease in voltage and decrease in frequency such that v/f ratio
remains constant will result in a constant flux, thus the reactive power does not vary. Thus, the
curve coincides with that of the rated operating conditions
.
4 R 2 – the increase in rotor resistance causes the motor to be more resistive, thus increasing the powerfactor.
8/18/2019 induction Machine report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/induction-machine-report 22/24
Fig 20. Power vs Efficiency
75% Rated Voltage – When voltage is decreased, the flux produced in the motor decreases, thetorque also decreases but the losses remain the same. Thus, efficiency decreases when voltage is
decreased.
33 Hz – With decrease in frequency, the flux produced in the machine increases, thus
increasing the torque. Also, the decreased frequency also decreases the inductive reactance
losses, hence resulting in an improved efficiency.
33 Hz, constant v/f – Since voltage is decreased torque (which is proportional to the square of
voltage) also decreases. Even though frequency is decreased, the effect of decrease in voltage
dominates, resulting in a decreased efficiency.
4 R 2 – the increase in rotor resistance results in increased rotor copper losses, thus the efficiencyof the machine decreases due to increased losses.
8/18/2019 induction Machine report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/induction-machine-report 23/24
Fig 21. Power vs Line current
75% Rated Voltage – When voltage is decreased, to provide a required torque, the motor needs
more current than while operating at rated voltage. Thus, for a particular output power, the line
current drawn increases.
33 Hz – Since frequency is decreased, torque increases, and thus, to provide a given output
power, the machine requires less current than that of the rated operating conditions. Moreover,
more flux is produced with less current when frequency is reduced.
33 Hz, constant v/f – Since voltage is decreased, it results in increased line current for a given
load condition. But due to the effect of decreased frequency, the machine draws less current
compared to the 75% of rated voltage operating condition.
4 R 2 – The increase in rotor resistance will result in more losses, thus more current will berequired for a particular load, compared to the rated operating conditions.

INFERENCES:
By analysing the machine performance characteristics at different operating voltages, we candecide the method of speed control to be used for different necessities.
Since speed is proportional to square of applied voltage, voltage can be varied to control speedover a large range.
v/f speed control is used because changing frequency alone may cause the cores to saturatequickly and the no load current of the motor will increase. By keeping flux constant this iseliminated.
Since increase in rotor resistance increases starting torque, this method is used in starting ofinduction motors. An external resistance is included in series with the rotor resistance whilestarting to improve the starting torque. Care should be taken so that the starting torque does not
exceed the breakdown torque of the machine. The external resistance is then removed after themotor has started.
It is seen that increased frequency results in decreased torque and speed. This shows the effect of
harmonics on the motor. Higher frequency harmonics cause decrease in torque and even crawlingin some cases.
Since power factor is poor at low loads, measures must be taken (such as using capacitor banks)while operating at low loads.
RESULT:
No load and blocked rotor tests were performed on a three phase induction motor to
determine its equivalent circuit parameters. Theoretical performance characteristics were generated
from the equivalent parameters. Load test was performed on the three phase induction motor and the
experimental performance characteristics were obtained and compared with the theoretical
performance characteristics. Theoretical performance characteristics were obtained for a given
different operating voltage, frequency, rotor resistance and for a constant v/f ratio and compared
with the rated performance characteristics.
