ELEC 302 Lab 10 DETERMINATION OF INDUCTION MOTOR EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT PARAMETERS REFERENCE: Appropriate chapters of ELEC 316 text. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this experiment is to determine the equivalent circuit parameters for the EMS
8231 wound rotor induction motor.

EQUIPMENT: Power Supply Module (0-120Vdc)

Wound Rotor Machine Data Acquisition Interface (DAI) DAI 24V Power Supply

EMS 8821 EMS 8231 EMS 9062 EMS 30004

Note:

For all portions of this experiment the induction motor should rotate in the CW (clockwise) direction. If the motor is not rotating in the CW direction, turn off the power, adjust the voltage control knob to zero, and reverse any two of the three supply voltage leads e.g., leads 4 and 6. If the motor does not turn in the CW direction after restoring power obtain instructor assistance.

INTRODUCTION:
The equivalent circuit of an induction motor is a useful for analysis of the machine under varying conditions. Figure 1 is the per phase equivalent circuit model showing the rotor and core losses. In this experiment, you will conduct a series of experiments to determine the values of R1, R2, X1, X2, Rc, and XM .

PRIOR PREPARATION:
Complete the following at a time determined by the laboratory instructor. 1. Given the following test data taken from a 1.5- hp, four pole, 208V, 60 Hz, wye connected induction motor. DC Test No Load Test Locked Rotor Test R1 = 10 V = 208 V V = 100 V R2 = 10 I = 1.0 A I = 1.50 A PFW = 10W PIN = 50W PIN = 200W Sketch the per phase equivalent circuit and label all components.

PROCEDURE:
WARNING! High voltages are present in this laboratory experiment! Do not make or modify any banana jack connections with the power on! WARNING! High speed rotating equipment are used in this laboratory experiment! Ensure that loose clothing, cables, and leads are kept clear of this equipment. Do not open the protective closure when power is applied to the rotating modules!

Equipment Set-up
1. 2. 3. 4. Verify the all components required in the equipment section are present at the EMS workstation. Make sure the main power switch of the Power Supply is OFF and the voltage control knob is fully CCW. Set the voltmeter selector switch to position 4-5. Ensure the Induction Motor Module is NOT mechanically coupled the Prime Mover /Dynamometer Module using the timing belt Check that the DAI USB connector is attached to the computer. Start the computer and the LVDAM EMS application. On the File menu open file C:\Program Files\Lab Volt\Samples\E302_10.dai. The Metering window should display meters for E1, I1, E2, I2, P, 3 Phase Power. Select focus to the metering window by clicking on it. Select Options -> Acquisition Settings, set the Sample Window dialog box to extended. Then click OK, and close the box. Select View -> check continuous refresh.

PART ONE: No-Load Test

6. 7. Ensure the Power Supply is turned off. Construct the Induction Motor circuit of Figure 2. Note that the stator windings are connected in a wye, and all rotor windings are shorted. Turn on the main voltage power supply and set the voltage control knob so that the line voltage indicated by meter E1 is 200 V. Monitor both the installed EMS voltmeter, and the metering window for proper indications. If proper indications are not immediately established, turn the voltage control knob CCW and turn off the power supply, and obtain instructor assistance.

Note: If the motor does not turn in the CW direction turn off the power supply and follow the note in the beginning of the lab. 8. Record the no-load line voltage (E1), line current (I1), and total 3 phase power (B).

VNL = ______________(V)
9.

INL = ______________(V) PNL = ______________(W)

At no-load the rotor current is very small and can be neglected. Therefore the motor rotational losses can be computed by subtracting the stator copper losses (found in part four) from the no-load input power.

PROT = PCORE + PFW = PNL 3 I2 R1 = ______________(W)

PART TWO: Estimating Friction and Windage Losses

10. The motor rotational losses include both core losses and friction and windage losses. The friction and windage losses (PFW ) can be approximated by lowering the input voltage and observing the input power at the point when the motor nearly stops rotating. Open the Data Table Application use it to record the motor line voltage (E1), and 3 phase power (B). Lower the input voltage at approximately 20 V increments and at each value of input voltage record the voltage and the 3-phase power in the table. When the motor begins to turn slowly take a few extra measurements to help determine the power required to just keep the motor turning. DO NOT LINGER WITH THE MOTOR IN THE STALL CONDITION. On the power supply, turn off the main power supply and set the voltage control knob to zero. 11. Open the Graph window. Obtain a plot of 3 phase power vs. input voltage (E1),. Title the graph Lab 10 Plot 1 Friction and Windage , name the x-axis Input Voltage (V), and name the y-axis as Input Power (Watts). Then save or print the graph for your report. From the plot estimate PFW , then determine and record the stator core losses.

PFW = ______________ (W) PART THREE: Blocked Rotor Test

PCORE = PROT - PFW = ______________(W)

12. Prevent rotation of the motor using a large screw driver inserted into the shaft of the wound rotor machine. Turn on the main voltage power supply and slowly increase the voltage control knob so that rated line current (1.5A) is indicated by meter I1. 13. Record the following values; line voltage (E1), line current (I1), 3 phase power (B).

VBL = ______________(V)

IBL = ______________(A) PBL = ______________(W)

14. Turn off the power supply, turn off the computer, and remove all leads.

PART FOUR: DC Test for Stator and Rotor Resistances

15. Using the Fluke multi-meter measure and record the stator and rotor resistances. Measure all three stator resistances and then record the average value. For the rotor it is only possible to measure two phases in series, therefore you must divide the final result by 2 to obtain the rotor resistance for a singe phase.

Average Stator Resistance R1 = ______________ Average Rotor Resistance R2 = ______________ REPORT:

Your report should be completed in the format requested by the instructor. Specifically, it must contain the following items. 1. 2. All data and plot 1. Compute and tabulate the values for R1, R2, X1, X2, Rc, and XM .

3. Using the circuit model developed in part two above generate a Torque vs. Speed plot for the motor.
