Note the changes in resistance and the resistive imbalance for each step in the external resistor bank.
Graph of Resistive Imbalance and Phase-To-Phase Resistance There is also the Standard Test for the rotor windings. In the following example, the phase-tophase resistance changes because in one test the external resistor bank is still connected through the slip rings to the rotor. Note however that the inductance values stay the same.
Note the resistance and inductance values. The second test includes the external resistor bank.
Note the three-phase current stays balanced throughout the start up cycle.
In-Rush Capture of One Phase of Stator Current During Start-Up of a WRM Both of these tests provide detailed information to compare to later test over the lifespan of the motor.
