Abstract

This paper presents a methodology to estimate the parameters of a single-phase induction motor (SPIM) equivalent circuit using a dc test, a locked-rotor test, and a no-load test. By neglecting the core-loss resistance, the SPIM parameters can be first directly calculated using a simplified equivalent circuit. However, an equivalent circuit using the resultant parameter values fail to match the power input measured at the motor terminals, especially for the active power under the no-load test. We include the core-loss resistance into the parameter estimation framework and use the Newton-Raphson (N-R) algorithm to improve the estimates obtained by the direct calculation method. Experimental results on a laboratory SPIM demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed N-R based parameter estimation scheme, in terms of excellent match with the active and reactive power measurement data from the aforementioned tests, and mismatch reduction at other operating conditions.
