Abstract
Induction motors are the most popular motors used in industry. This pa per further suggests the use of air-gap torque method [1] to evaluate their efficiency and load changes, The fundamental difference between Method E and the air-gap torque method is discussed. Efficiency assess ments conducted on induction motors under various conditions show the accuracy and potential of the air-gap torque method.
