Equivalent Circuit:

• \[\mathrm{R_{DC}} = \dfrac{V_{DC}}{2I_{DC}}=\dfrac{13.6}{2\times 28}=0.243~\Omega\]
  From DC Test:
• \[\begin{aligned} I_{\mathrm{L}, \mathrm{av}} &=\frac{8.12 \mathrm{~A}+8.20 \mathrm{~A}+8.18 \mathrm{~A}}{3}=8.17 \mathrm{~A} \\ V_{\phi, \mathrm{nl}} &=\frac{208 \mathrm{~V}}{\sqrt{3}}=120 \mathrm{~V} \\ \left|Z_{\mathrm{nl}}\right| &=\frac{120 \mathrm{~V}}{8.17 \mathrm{~A}}=14.7 \Omega=X_{1}+X_{M} \\ P_{\mathrm{SCL}} &=3 I_{1}^{2} R_{1}=3(8.17 \mathrm{~A})^{2}(0.243 \Omega)=48.7 \mathrm{~W} \\ P_{\text {rot,nl }} &=P_{\text {in.nl }}-P_{\text {SCL.nl }} \\ &=420 \mathrm{~W}-48.7 \mathrm{~W}=371.3 \mathrm{~W} \end{aligned}\]
  From No-load Test:

• \[\begin{aligned} I_{\mathrm{Lav}}&=\frac{28.1 \mathrm{~A}+28.0 \mathrm{~A}+27.6 \mathrm{~A}}{3}=27.9 \mathrm{~A} \\ \left|Z_{\mathrm{LR}}\right|&=\frac{V_{\phi}}{I_{A}}=\frac{V_{T}}{\sqrt{3} I_{A}}=\frac{25 \mathrm{~V}}{\sqrt{3}(27.9 \mathrm{~A})}=0.517 \Omega \\ \theta&=\cos ^{-1} \frac{P_{\mathrm{in}}}{\sqrt{3} V_{T} I_{L}} =\cos ^{-1} \frac{920 \mathrm{~W}}{\sqrt{3}(25 \mathrm{~V})(27.9 \mathrm{~A})} \\ &=\cos ^{-1} 0.762=40.4^{\circ} \\ R_{\mathrm{LR}}&=0.517 \cos 40.4^{\circ}=0.394 \Omega=R_{1}+R_{2} \\ R_{1}&=0.243 \Omega~~(\text{Given}) \Rightarrow R_{2}=0.151 \Omega \\ X_{\mathrm{LR}}^{\prime}&=0.517 \sin 40.4^{\circ}=0.335 \Omega ~~(\text{at 15 Hz})\\ X_{\mathrm{LR}}&=\frac{f_{\text {rated }}}{f_{\text {test }}} X_{\mathrm{LR}}^{\prime}=\left(\frac{60 \mathrm{~Hz}}{15 \mathrm{~Hz}}\right) 0.335 \Omega=1.34 \Omega \\ X_{1}&=X_{2}=0.67 \Omega \\ X_{M}&=\left|Z_{\text {nl }}\right|-X_{1}=14.7 \Omega-0.67 \Omega=14.03 \Omega \end{aligned}\]
  From Locked-Rotor Test:

• \[V_{\mathrm{TH}}= 114.6 \mathrm{~V} \quad R_{\mathrm{TH}}=0.221 \Omega \quad X_{\mathrm{TH}}=0.67 \Omega\]
  For this equivalent circuit, the Thevenin equivalents
