A STUDY OF METHODS TO MEASURE THE PARAMETERS OF SINGLE-PHASE INDUCTION-MOTORS

Two methods for the experimental determination of single-phase inducti on motor parameters are studied, The one is a relatively complicated m ethod based on single-phase measurements. The other utilizes a two-pha se based strategy. An investigation was done to evaluate the accuracy with which the performance of a machine can be predicted using experim entally determined numerical values for the machine parameters, calcul ated from these two methods, Comparing the two sets of calculated perf ormance values, shows that the two-phase method gives a better correla tion with the measured values than the single-phase method.
