SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the open rotor voltage of an induction motor when the rotor terminals are left open. The user measured a voltage of 102.6V between the rotor terminals but seeks a method to calculate this value instead of relying solely on measurement. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the voltage specifications on the connector plate, which indicate 120V per phase on the stator and 60V per phase on the rotor. Clarification on the applied voltage and whether a three-phase (3ɸ) supply was used is also emphasized.
