Single Phase Induction motor winding phase difference

Click For Summary
To measure the phase difference between the start and run windings of a single-phase induction motor, one must consider the inductance (L) and resistance (R) of both windings. For analyzing torque versus slip, curve fitting the data to the equation provided helps determine the rotor's time constant (t) or L/R ratio. When incorporating a capacitor to achieve a 90-degree phase shift, a phasor diagram is essential to visualize the relationship between inductive and resistive components. The capacitive reactance can be calculated using the formula Xc = 1/(2πfC), where f is the frequency and C is the capacitance. Understanding these electrical properties is crucial for optimizing motor performance.

Q1:
So I'm trying to extract the electrical properties of a single phase induction motor. First off, how am I supposed to measure the phase difference between the start and run windings? I have L and R of start and run windings too!
Q2:
I have a torque vs slip curve up until 130% of rated load. Using this I was told I'm supposed to curve fit this data to the equation Torque*c1 = c2*s/(1+(j*w*t)) to get the time constant t of the rotor (or L/R of the rotor). I'm not sure how I'm supposed to do this. I also have this L/R value using the electrical model that I found with locked rotor measurements.
Q3:
If this system was to be switched with a capacitor to get 90 degrees phase shift, how do I calculate the capacitor value? I know I'm supposed to draw a phasor diagram and find the value of C so that it forms the required phase shift but I need more explication on that.

For the phasor diagram. You should have a phasor pointing somewhere in quadrant I (up and to the right). Up is for the inductive portion, and horizontal is resistive portion. If you create a right triangle from this coming back down to the Real axis, this vertical leg coming down will be your capacitive phasor.

Do you know how to calculate capacitive reactance from Capacitance and Frequency?
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
