    This document describes an experiment to obtain performance characteristics of a 3-phase induction motor, including line current, torque, power factor, efficiency, speed and slip versus output, and torque versus slip. The apparatus required includes ammeters, voltmeters, wattmeters, and a tachometer. The procedure connects the motor via a star-delta starter, adjusts the load, and records readings for current, voltage, speed, torque, power, and efficiency at varying loads. Graphs of the results are drawn to show the motor performance characteristics.

    LOAD TEST ON 3 PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR


    AIM: To obtain following performance characteristics.
    1. Line current, torque, power factor, efficiency, speed and slip Vs output.
    2. Torque Vs slip.

    APPARATUS REQUIRED:

    S. No Name of the Apparatus Range Type Quantity


    1. Ammeter (0 - 10) A MI 1
    2. Voltmeter (0 - 500)V MI 1
    3. Wattmeter 500V, 10 A UPF 2
    4. Tachometer - Digital 1

    THEORY:

    3-phase induction motor consists of stator and rotor with the other associated parts. In the stator,
    a 3-phase winding is provided. The windings of the three phases are displaced in space by 120º.
    A 3-phase current is fed to the 3-phase winding. These windings produce a resultant magnetic
    flux and it rotates in space like a solid magnetic poles being rotated magnetically.

    PRECAUTION:

    1. There must be no load when starting the motor.

    PROCEDURE:

    1. Connections are made as per circuit diagram.


    2. The rotor was made very much free to rotate.
    3. Pour some water inside the brake drum so as to cool the rotor belt.
    4. 3-Φ induction motor started using star-delta starter by pressing green switch of starter.
    5. Adjusted the load till current was made to rated value of motor.
    6. Decrease the load step by step and note corresponding speed, load, current, voltage and
    wattmeter readings.
    7. At certain load, wattmeter W2 will show negative reading. Note down the line current at
    this point.
    8. Interchange the connection of current coil of wattmeter W2 which was reading negative
    after switching off supply by pressing red switch of starter.
    9. Rotor was made free to rotate by removing the load completely.
    10. 3-Φ induction motor started using star-delta starter by pressing black switch of starter.
    11. Adjust the line current to a value in step 7.
    12. Note down corresponding speed, load, current, voltage, wattmeter readings. Take the
    reading of wattmeter W2 as negative.
    13. Finally switch off supply.
