What is  Testing of Induction Motor?

Induction Motor Definition

An induction motor is defined as a type of electric motor that operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction. 

Basic Parameters

• Current

• Voltage

• Power

• Resistance

Preliminary Tests

• Firstly check the components of motor

• No-load running current test

• High potential test

• Air-gap measurement

• Balancing of current

• Temperature rise in bearing

• Voltages in shaft

• Direction of rotation

• Level of noise

• Strength of vibration

• Air gap eccentricity

Performance Tests

• No load test

• Locked rotor test

• Breakdown torque load performance test

• Temperature test

• Stray load loss test

• Determination of efficiency test

Induction Motor Testing Importance

Induction motor testing helps detect issues early, ensuring efficient operation and reducing energy costs.
