Three-phase asynchronous machines

Laboratory session requirements:

1. This test is a high-voltage electrical test. There are certain risks. The test must be done based on
the test guideline instructions with attention to personal safety. It is not recommended to walk
around and touch devices without permission.
2. It is not permitted to wear sandals.

III. Test content

Experiments are explained in Lucas-Nulles software Labsoft.

1. Connection and starting

2. Rotation reversal

3. Load characteristics

4. Dynamic load experiments

IV. Test report requirements

The report has to contain measured data and graphs obtained in each experiment. In
addition, conclusions are required, at least two per experiment. The report is presented as
a pdf document and must be submitted to Canvas before deadline (one week after the
laboratory session at 5 p.m.), as well as peer evaluation forms. The reports file name must
be as follows: EM_1.2_LabReport3_LastName1,LastName2,etc., while the peer
evaluation forms have to be named like EM_1.2_LabReport3_PeerEvaluation_LastName.
