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
Voltmeter (and later founder of Kaypro) in 1954. Voltmeter A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electrical potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. Analog voltmeters move a pointer across a scale in proportion to the voltage of the circuit; digital voltmeters give a numerical display of voltage by use of an analog to digital converter. A voltmeter in a circuit diagram is represented by the letter "V" in a circle. Voltmeters are made in a wide range of styles. Instruments permanently mounted in a panel are used to monitor generators or other fixed apparatus. Portable instruments, usually
