LOAD TEST ON SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR
AIM:
To determine the performance characteristic of a given single phase capacitor start
induction motor by conducting load test.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
FUSE RATING:
 Fuse rating = 125% of rated current.
PRECAUTION:
 Before switching on the supply the single phase auto transformer is kept in minimum
position.
 Initially these should be on no load while starting the motor.
FORMULA USED:
1. Torque, T = (S1~S2)*9.81*R N.m.
2. Output power = 2π NT/60*W
3. Effecting (η%) = 0/P Power/I/p Power*100
4. Slip (%S) = NS – N/NS*100
5. Power factor = Cos φ=W/VI
PROCEDURE:
2. Switch on the supply at no load condition.
3. Apply the rated voltage to the motor using the single phase auto transformer and note
down the readings at ammeter and wattmeter.
4. Vary the load in suitable steps and note down all the meter readings till full load
condition.

FORMULAE USED:
OC TEST:
1. No load power factor (Cos φ 0) = P0/V0I0
V0 - No load voltage per phase in volts.
I0 - No load current per phase in amps.
P0 - No load power per phase in watts.
2. Working component current (Iw) = I0 (ph) X Cos φ 0
3. Magnetizing current (Im) = I0 (ph) X Sin φ 0
4. No load resistance (R0) =V0/I0 (ph) Cos φ 0 in W.
5. No load reactance (X0) = V0/I0 (ph) Sin φ 0 in W.
SC TEST:
1. Motor equivalent Impedance referred to stator (Zsc(ph)) = Vsc(ph) / Isc(ph) in Ω.
2. Motor equivalent Resistance referred to stator (Rsc(ph)) = Psc(ph) / I2
sc(ph) in Ω.
3. Motor equivalent Reactance referred to stator (Xsc(ph)) = √(Z sc(ph)2
- Rsc(ph)2
) in Ω.
4. Rotor Resistance referred to stator (R2’(ph)) = Rsc(ph) – R1 in Ω.
5. Rotor Reactance referred to stator (X2’(ph)) = Xsc(ph) / 2 = X1 in Ω.
Where, R1 - stator resistance per phase.
X1 – stator reactance per chapter.
R1 = R(ac) =1.6 x R(dc).
6. Equivalent load resistance (RL’) = R2’ (1/s – 1) in Ω.
Where, Slip (S) = (Ns-Nr) / Ns.
Ns – Synchronous speed in rpm.
Nr – Rotor speed in rpm.

PROCEDURE:
2. For No-Load or open circuit test by adjusting autotransformer, apply rated voltage and
Note down the voltmeter, ammeter and wattmeter readings. In this test rotor is free to
rotate.
3. For short circuit or blocked rotor test by adjusting autotransformer, apply rated current
and note down the voltmeter ,ammeter and wattmeter readings. In this test rotor is
blocked.
4. After that make the connection to measure the stator resistance as per the circuit
diagram.
5. By adding the load through the loading rheostat note down the ammeter, voltmeter
reading for various values of load.
