    This document provides the procedure and objectives for performing a blocked rotor test on a three-phase induction motor. The test is done to measure the resistance and leakage reactance of the stator and rotor windings. Nameplate details of the motor are recorded. The motor is connected to a variac, voltmeter, ammeter and two wattmeters. With the rotor blocked, the voltage is increased until rated current is reached. Readings are taken and used to calculate the per-phase equivalent resistance and reactance. Observations are recorded in a table with voltage, current and active power measurements. Precautions are outlined to perform the test safely.

    THEORY:
    Blocked rotor test is similar to the short circuit test on a transformer. It is to be performed to calculate the
    series parameters of the induction machine i.e., its leakage impedances. The rotor is blocked to prevent rotation
    and balanced voltages are applied to the stator terminals at a voltage where the rated current is achieved. Under
    the reduced voltage condition and rated current, core loss and magnetizing component of the current are quite
    small percent of the total current. The slip for the blocked rotor test is unity since the rotor is stationary.
    PROCEDURE
    1) Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram.
    2) Make sure the rotor of the motor is blocked.
    3) Switch on the supply and increase the input voltage till the current of the motor reaches to
    its rated value.
    4) Note down the reading of all meters.
    5) Decrease the voltage to zero and switch off the supply.

    PRECAUTIONS:

    1) Don’t switch on the supply when machine is loaded.


    2) Switch of the supply only when machine is totally unloaded.
    3) All connections should be proper and tight.
    4) Ranges of the machine should be selected correctly.
