Circle Diagram:-
It can be shown that the current vector for a series circuit with constant reactance and voltage
but with variable resistance is a circle.
The above equation represents a circle with the polar axis θ (θ is changed
between 0 and 180 ̊) and I.
Similarly for 3-ph I.M.:-
The vector of current I2‘will lie on a circle and I1 is the vector sum of Io (constant)
and I2‘.
To draw the complete circle diagram we must perform the following two tests:-

The circle diagram should be at least 25 cm in diameter and the scale of current
should be chosen accordingly.

• A and P1 are two points on the circle diagram and the center is found by drawing a
perpendicular on the midpoint of the sector line AP1.
• The intersection between this perpendicular and the horizontal line AD will give the
center of the circle (point C). The radius of the circle is AC.
• From point O the tangent to the circle will give maximum power factor.

❑ To obtain the slip line joins IP1 and produce the line to any convenient point J.
• From J draw a perpendicular JK on the torque line AF, meeting the line AD at K.
• With K as zero and J as 100 divide the line JK into 100 equal parts.
• To find the slip corresponding to the operating point P, join P and I.
• Let the line PI cut JK at L. The LK will be the slip to the scale of JK as 100, and
the slip is equal to
❑ To obtain the efficiency line produce the power line AP1 backwards to meet the
base line OE at A‘.
• Extended the line AP1 beyond P1 to a convenient point P1‘.
• Draw A‘B perpendicular to OE. Draw a line from P1‘ parallel to OE and meeting
A‘B at B.
• Point P1‘ represents 0% efficiency and point B 100%efficiency.
• To obtain the machine efficiency corresponding to the operating point P, the A‘P
is extended to intersect the line P1‘B at P‘, and the efficiency is equal to
•

Example 1.A 3-ph, 400-V induction motor gave the following test readings; No-
load : 400 V, 1250 W, 9 A, Short-circuit : 150 V, 4 kW, 38 A
Draw the circle diagram.
If the normal rating is 14.9 kW, find from the circle diagram, the full-load value of current,
p.f. and slip.
