Objective
- Taking the simplified equivalent circuit per phase - Application of the method
of separation of losses - Analysis of various types of losses of an induction m
otor with three-phase squirrel-cage rotor.
Introduction
The asynchronous motor rotor short-circuit is basically composed of an inductor
fixed (stator) and a movable armature (rotor). The stator consists of a set of s
teel plates, high quality (in the sense of the excellent ferromagnetic propertie
s) stacked with grooves on the inside, containing a three-phase winding, which m
ay be bipolar, tetrapolar, Hexapolis, etc ... The extremes of the three phases o
f the stator (winding inductor) are available on a terminal board in order to fa
cilitate connection of the winding in either Y or Δ. The r6tor is a cylinder of
stacked plates, tree keyed on the motor, with grooves along the outer surface co
ntaining a coil with an even number of poles that the stator (motor winding r6to
r) or a set of conducting bars short-circuited by conductive rings at both ends
(engine r6tor squirrel-cage). The stator and rotor are separated by a narrow air
gap of around 0.5 mm.

The operating principle of these machines is irrespective of the binding of the
three phases of the stator (Y or Δ), where they are fed by three phase current p
ulse W = 2 × π × f roduces a rotating magnetic field angular velocity WAS = W,
referring to a sync s eed of , where is the winding number of oles. This mag
netic field asses through the rotor conductors and induces emf in them, which i
n turn roduce induced currents. The rotor conductors, to be followed by these c
urrents are thus subjected to forces which together cause a torque that tends to
rotate the rotor in the same direction of the rotating field, ie, the rotor ten
ds to follow the rotating field Fig.2-Princi le of o eration of three hase asyn
chronous motor (since this was the cause of the emf generated in it). However, t
he rotor in its rotation can not exactly follow the rotating magnetic field of t
he stator, as in this case, the drivers would not cross that, if not roducing i
nduced currents or binary. Once the rotor always rotates at a s eed less than Wr
Was, which is why we designate these asynchronous motors. The f.e.m. induced in
the rotor de ends on the difference in s eeds of rotation relative to the rotat
ing field, known as the sliding velocity (s). Defined sli (s) of an asynchronou
s motor through the relation: (n - n) s = ns Where n is the rotor s eed in r m a
nd ns is the sync s eed in r m The motor stator is fed by the network or other d
evice, but the rotor has no connection with the conductive stator or network. No
big arguments we can easily infer that while the rotor stationary (locked rotor
), the motor is a transformer of the rotating field in the stator and rotor is t
he rimary is the secondary. The frequency of currents in the rotor (fr) de ends
on the sli through the relation: fr = s × f

In o eration in the em ty engine torque is very weak, and the frequency and inte
nsity of currents in the rotor, the sli is very low and the rotating field is
roduced almost exclusively by the stator currents, which are magnetizing, so the
ower factor is very low. On load, the sli increases (due to the resistant tor
que a lied to the shaft), as well as the frequency and intensity of currents in
the rotor. The increase of currents in the rotor will therefore cause an increa
se of currents in the stator and the ower factor increases.

Conclusion
A ter analysis o  all measured and calculated values, and a care ul analysis and
interpretation o  graphics and layout approximate equivalent ( or the engine te
sted) it was possible to in er a set o  conclusions, which amendments below. The
values ound or the resistances and inductances, series and parallel equivalen
t circuit, as well as the value ound or the slip-load are in ull agreement wi
th the usual values or this type o  electric machine, and there is there ore no
comment to be made, except that now it is likely to note that the machine under
test was in good working order, and that the theory that (in the Introduction)
to three-phase asynchronous induction motors has been demonstrated as valid. It
is also important to mention that the method o  separation o  losses has been su
ccess ully applied since all the parameters necessary to per orm the approximate
equivalent circuit were possible to determine. Regarding the no-load losses o 
the engine tested (when supplied at rated voltage) was ound through measurement
s that they took a total o  525 W, o  which approximately 70.4 W were due to ohm
ic losses in the windings, 74, 3 W 379.7 W mechanical losses and the losses in t
he erromagnetic circuit. It was also possible to determine what the engine test
ed had a nominal value o  the circuit ohmic losses o  about 208 W, just knowing
that the erromagnetic losses and mechanical losses are practically independent
o  the system load can be in erred that the engine being tested will have a valu
e o  losses nominal total o  about 662 W. Another special relevance is cosφ0 hav
e given an extremely low value, a act that this was due to the current drawn by
the engine was essentially a magnetizing current. Finally given the table on wh
ich are the igures recorded or the test o  separation o  losses is possible to
conclude that the current in the motor windings,€as well as its speed and low p
ower absorbed will be reduced as the voltage at its terminals, however when he i
s about to stop the movement, ie when its speed decreases signi icantly compared
to the nominal current absorbed increases considerably. This phenomenon is due
to the act that the induction motor rotor squirrel-cage behaving as a
