Abstract
This paper presents an educational tool for illustrating the measured power in induction motors. This tool is integrated by hardware and software elements. The software uses a virtual instrument which is developed on the LabVIEW programming language. This instrument helps to perform online measurements of the quantities: power, apparent power, reactive power and power factor, as well the energy usage. A phasor diagram shows the three-phase current and voltage quantities; at the same time, a spectral analysis is also computed. The hardware uses a three-phase power amplifier and a set of Hall-effect sensors which are easily found on the market. Measurements are taken when the induction motor is in at standstill and under loaded conditions. The tool was tested in a 0.5 HP, 220V and 60 Hz induction motor.
