Abstract

Asynchronous motors make up 80% of today’s motors in industry. For this reason, the contribution of energy efficiency analyses to asynchronous motors is very important. There are many techniques for measuring the efficiency of electric motors. These are the generally experimental ones as specified in certain standards. Experimental methods can also be divided into direct and indirect methods. The use of experimental methods is not common due to the cost of installing and operating test laboratories worldwide. In this study, direct and indirect experimental methods and which kind of method should be applied to which type of motor will be explained. Then an indirect method will be applied to the motor and an efficiency result and losses will be found. According to this experiment, losses are interpreted. One squirrel cage induction motor, which is being used in the Marmaray project, is utilized in the experiments.
