To improve its performance characteristics certain tests have been designed like no-load test and Jock rotor test, ete, A blocked rotor test is normally performed on an induction motor to find out the leakage impedance. Apart from it, other parameters such as torque. motor. short-circuit current at normal voltage. and many more could be found from this test, Blocked rotor test is analogous to the short circuit test of transformer. Here shaft of the motor is clamped Le. blocked is short circuited. In slip ring motor rotor winding is short so it cannot move and rotor winding circuited through stip rings and in cage Motors, TOtorTs bars are permanently short circuited. The testing of the induction motor is a little bit comples as the resultant value of Teakage on of the impedance may get affected by rotor position. rotor frequency and by magnetic dispers minimized by conducting a block rotor current test on leakage flux path. These effects could be Squirrel-cage rotor.

The test is performed at poly-phase voltages and rated uency applied to the stator terminals. When motor runs for some times and bearings get jcated fully. at that time readings of applied volta input current and input power are taken. alculate the rotational loss, subtract the ator FR losses from the input power. eked Rotor Test he blocked rotor test, it should be kept in mind that the applied voltaye on the stator terminals Id be low otherwise normal voltage could damage the winding of the stator. In block rotor the low voltage is applied so that the rotor does not rotate and its speed becomes zero and Joad current passes through the stator windin; The slip is unity related to zero speed of rotor ce the load resistance becomes zero. Now, slowly increase the voltage in the stator windi 1 that current reaches to its rated value.
