Doing a No Load test of a 3-phase induction motor involves the measuring of current, voltage, torque etc with no load on the rotor shaft, meaning that it is free to turn but is not driving anything else.

Similarly a Locked Rotor test involves the measuring of current, voltage, torque etc with the rotor shaft "locked" i.e. prevented from turning, which is the worst loading condition the motor would ever have to contend with.

What is the useful of open end winding of induction motor?

Standard induction motor has a closed squirrel cage rotor, where as open ended induction motor has split phase rotor.


What is locked rotor in three phase induction motor?

A motors locked rotor current is the same as the motors starting current. This is the point where the voltage is applied to a non rotating motor, time cycle zero. Because the motor is not rotation and generating a back EMF to oppose the inrush current, the current will go as high as 6 times the running current of the motor.


What happens if 3 phase supply is given to stator and rotor both in a induction motor?

its impossible to give suppy to rotor of an induction motor,because of it a closed path for circulating currents.


What are No Load And Blocked Rotor tests on a three phase induction motor?

There is no such thing as a "Blocked" Rotor test so that must be a misunderstanding of the correct description, which is "Locked" Rotor test.For more information see the answer to the Related Question shown below.


Is a three phase induction motor self starting?

A three-phase motor has a steady rotating magnetic field generated by the stator coil, and the rotor just follows the field.


Why you use brushes for single phase induction motors?

There no brushes in an induction motor. The rotor is independent and is a short-circuited cage of parallel bars.


What are the two different forces acts in opposite direction on the rotor of single phase induction motor?

An induction motor has an AC power source applied to the stator and an AC source applied to the rotor, through slip rings. The rotor spins a sub synchronous speed, which creates the phase shift between rotor AC and stator AC. This phase shift (known as slip) is what creates the torque.


What happen if we do the 3 phase winding in rotor of induction motor and give the 3 phase supply only stator winding?

This is how an induction motor normally works, hence the name. The supply voltage is connected to the stator winding(s) and a current is induced in the rotor. A synchronous motor, on the other hand, will have current supplied to the rotor through slip rings and brushes. The rotor current is generally supplied as DC though, or else rectified in the rotor.


A particular 3 phase induction motor has a LRA of 100 amps What is its approximate starting current?

LRA (locked rotor amperage) is not considered. Starting current for a motor is usually in the neighbourhood of 300% of the FLA (full load amps). The FLA is taken from the motor's nameplate.


How do you increase starting torque in cage type 3-phase induction motor's?

by adding external resistance to the shaft of rotor


What is the principle of a three-phase induction motor?

An electric motor converts electrical energy into a mechanical energy which is then supplied to different types of loads. A.c. motors operate on an a.c. supply, and they are classified into synchronous, single phase and 3 phase induction, and special purpose motors. Out of all types, 3 phase induction motors are most widely used for industrial applications mainly because they do not require a starting device. A 3 phase induction motor derives its name from the fact that the rotor current is induced by the magnetic field, instead of electrical connections. The operating principle of a 3 phase induction motor is based on the production of r.m.f.


Why each phase no load power factor of 3 phase induction motor is not same?

That indicates a fault in the induction motor.
