Electrical – AC induction motor circuit and stall current

induction motormotor

How can I describe the stator current of a 3-phase locked/stalled induction motor by using equivalent circuit of the motor?

Best Answer

The slip at locked rotor is 1, so the rotor resistance and reactance are connected directly to neutral for the per phase model.
