Exercise #3 (5)
This problem deals with star-connected induction machines.
The parameters of this equivalent circuit can be determined from a combination of a
resistance measurement, the no-load test and the blocked rotor (short-circuit) test.
The stator phase resistance is measured as 30 mΩ.
During the no-load test, the rotor rotates at synchronous speed. The test results are
the following: V=400 V, f=50 Hz, I=45 A, P=2000W.
The blocked-rotor test results are: V=60 V, f=50 Hz, I=150A, P=4000W.
NB1: the measured power is the three-phase power.
