Circle diagram constant air-gap induction motor images shown here, where, The circle diagram is drawn using the data obtained from no load and either short circuit or, in case of machines, blocked rotor tests by fitting a half-circle in points O and A. Beyond the error inherent in the constant air-gap assumption, the circle diagram introduces errors due to rotor reactance and rotor resistance variations caused by magnetic saturation and rotor frequency over the range from no-load to operating speed. Steinmetz equivalent circuit Circle diagram First conceived by A. Heyland in 1894 and B.A. Behrend in 1895, the circle diagram is the
Circuit diagram called "artwork" or "layout", "physical design", or "wiring diagram". Circuit diagrams are used for the design (circuit design), construction (such as PCB layout), and maintenance of electrical and electronic equipment. In computer science, circuit diagrams are useful when visualizing expressions using Boolean algebra. Circuit diagrams are pictures with symbols that have differed from country to country and have changed over time, but are now to a large extent internationally standardized. Simple components often had symbols intended to represent some feature of the physical construction of the device. For example, the symbol for a resistor shown here dates back to the
