Analysis of Equivalent Circuit
The total power transferred across the air gap (Pg) from the stator is
(17) |
Hence, the rotor Ohmic loses and the internal mechanical power are given as

Thevenin's Equivalent Circuit of Induction Motor
When the torque-slip or power-slip characteristics are required, application of Thevenin's theorem to the induction motor equivalent circuit reduces the computation complexity. For applying Thevenin's theorem to the equivalent circuit shown in Figure 8 , two points a , b are considered as shown in Figure 9 . From these points the voltage source V1 is viewed and the equivalent voltage at point a and b is
