Abstract

A unique computer-aided detector is presented that determines the mechanical and electrical qualities of single-phase and three-phase induction motors. Measurements of voltage, current, power factor, active power, and reactive power as well as evaluations of centrifugal switch and airgap eccentricity, i.e., misalignment between rotor and stator, of induction motors can be rapidly conducted, and test results are available on the screen within a few seconds. The feasibility and usefulness of this detector are impressively demonstrated through application examples
