SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the influence of magnetic saturation on parameter behavior during load tests of permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors. Participants inquire about integrating saturation effects into equivalent circuit calculations using classical tests such as DC-test, blocked rotor test, and no-load test. The conversation highlights the asymmetrical nature of the motor's windings and the importance of adjusting capacitor values for specific operational frequencies like 50 Hz and 60 Hz. The need for temperature correction in DC resistance measurements is also emphasized.
