NO.- 07 NAME OF THE EXPT.: DETERMINATION OF PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF AN INDUCTION MOTOR WITH THE HELP OF CIRCLE DIAGRAM. INTRODUCTION: The most effective graphical method used for the analysis of induction motor characteristics is the circle diagram method. The development of the circle diagram is based on the approximate equivalent circuit of induction motor as shown in the figure below: R2 X2 R1 X1

x0

R 2 (1-S)/S

The data necessary to determine the approximate equivalent circuit parameters and to draw the circle diagram are obtained from the no-load and blocked-rotor tests along with the stator resistance measurement. Then from the circle diagram different characteristics of an induction motor can be determined, such as slip, torque, power, efficiency etc. The method makes use of several approximations, but the results obtained are fairly accurate.
