Leonardo Journal of Sciences, 23, 41-52.ISSN 1583-0233http://repository.futminna.edu.ng:4000/handle/123456789/1943Single phase induction motors are used in number of applications such as in offices, homes and in factories.Single phase induction motors are used in number of applications such as in offices, homes and in factories. Their numerous applications and immense importance lead to the study of the general characteristics of such motors. In this paper the input data of a given single phase induction motor without core loss is obtained from laboratory and the motor equivalent circuit is developed from the input parameters and this circuit helps to obtain the principle of double revolving theory. Determination of the output parameters from input parameters using circuit equations lead to the plotting graphs of the motor performance characteristics for the purpose of illustration. The paper also demonstrates the simulation of the steady-state performance by MATLAB programenEquationsEquivalent circuitCharacteristicsCurrentMotorRotor speedSynchronous speedTorque.Article
