Abstract :
Any measurement process has always its inherent uncertainty due to different error sources. Identifying measurement uncertainties is important to make any measurement results reliable and credible. In this paper, 3 different induction motors were tested for efficiency using the direct method (dynamometer procedure) and a proposed algorithm of estimating full-load efficiency from only one no-load test.
