Abstract – The circle diagram helps to identify all simplified induction motor circle diagram, as shown below electromagnetic values, which describe the machine’s operation (Figure 2). mode at different slip values and gives them a better description when machine’s operating mode is changing. The circle diagram is also of great importance for studying the case, when the parameters of the asynchronous machines operating mode are assumed to be constant values. Keywords – Circle diagram, heavy-duty induction motor, mathematical simulation. I. INTRODUCTION In general, mathematical modeling opens new perspectives Fig. 2. A simplified construction of the induction motor circle diagram. for studying the electric machines. The possibility to replace real objects with the mathematical model provides great (1) advantages for the development and research of electric I I ( I ) machines. As it is known, one of the most popular forms of 1 00 2 the electric drive is the induction motor. It is related with the where simplicity of manufacturing and the highest safety of induction motor. Modern technologies drive the engineering industry for the U1 I 00 (2) increase of the produced electric machines power. During the Z1 Z m tests of a new machine, it is not always possible to load the machine according to its power. In such cases, if the I - is the ideal idle current, and does not depend on the slip appropriate technical supply is not available in order to receive 00 the necessary curves for electric motors with the power over ( s 0 ). This current is constant, since U1 const and 100 kW, it is possible to measure the efficiency, power factor f1 const . Therefore, the coordinates of the beginning are to and slip values, by using a circle diagram. be transferred to the I00 value, and, as the result, the circle For the convenient view of the circle diagram, it is diagram is acquired (Figure 3).
