This paper determines the experimental performance of a slip ring induction motor according to standards when using TERCO equipment. The aim of this study is to present the experimental procedures for determining the performance of a slip-ring induction motor and to demonstrate to researchers how the efficiency of a slip-ring induction machine can be calculated experimentally. The method used for this study is a loss summation method in which a no-load test, resistance measurement test, a direct measurement test, an overload test, and a starting current test were performed to determine the losses in both the rotor and the stator of a slip ring induction motor. The result shows no-load losses of 300 W, the rotor and stator resistances are determined to be 2 Ω and 4.8 Ω, with the resistance losses as calculated being 75.86 W and 0.35 W, respectively. However, the brush resistance losses are determined as 4.12 W with the stray losses in iron and conductor as 14 W. The efficiency of the induction motor is calculated from the measured parameters to be 82%. Besides, the starting current measurements are taken with and without motor resistances at lower voltages where it shows that with higher starting current the voltage without rotor resistance develops higher values.
