Determination of the torque-speed characteristic of an induction motor using a curve-fitting technique
This paper describes the use of a curve-fitting technique to deduce the nominal torque-speed characteristic of a three-phase induction motor from the speed data obtained in a no-load acceleration test. Experimental results show that the fitted curve is reasonably close to the torque-speed characteristic obtained from an actual load test.
