In this test, the motor is allowed to run with noload at the rated. The efficiency of large motors can be determined by directly loading them and by. The noload test approximates the stator circuit rs and xs1 and magnetization branch parametersxm of an induction machine. Disconnect any mechanical load connected to the induction motor. As the name suggest no load test is performed when rotor rotates with synchronous speed and there is no load torque. No load test the slip of the induction motor at no load is very low. The approximate equivalent circuit for the no load test. So whether no load or full load iron losses do takes place whenever varying. Thus, the value of the equivalent resistance in the rotor branch of the equivalent circuit is very high. When a three phase induction motor connected to a single phase power supply using the steinmetz connection operates in a practical noload condition, not all windings consume active power. To measure the value of the stator resistance of 3phase im.
