  • Abstract
    The need for an improved method of measuring starting torque of large induction starting synchronous motors as compared to the power input and dynamometer methods, has led to the use of the acceleration oscillogram. A low ripple, permanent magnet type d-c generator is driven by the motor, and traces a time-speed oscillogram, from which acceleration, and the torque producing it, may be calculated.
