A dc resistance test indicates that the stator resistance per phase is 1.165 W.
a) Estimate the machine’s friction and windage loss and determine the parameters of the full equivalent circuit of the machine.
Using an appropriate form of the machine equivalent circuit:
b) Calculate the losses in the machine and draw a power flow diagram which illustrates the flow of power through the machine when it runs on-load with a slip of 0.06
c) Determine the starting torque, and also the torque when running with a slip of 0.06.
