Abstract
This paper describes the use of digital computer techniques for the identification of equivalent circuit parameters of capacitor motors from the measured data, and the extension of this technique to the analysis of the plain single-phase induction motors. The problem of the optimization of parameter determination, the correcting factor K and repeating number n, are discussed. Based on these techniques, parameters are obtained on several capacitor motors. Using these parameters, various characteristics such as 2-phase excitation, capacitor drive, DC braking-torque, accelerating performance etc. are computed and compared with experimental results.
