Pilot research - what is it? What is the purpose of a pilot study? How to write a description of a scientific experiment


Tags: ,

Obtaining objective information about the attitude of employees to various phenomena within the company and to management is sometimes very difficult. Often a simple method helps with this – a survey.

Features of the survey

Questionnaire is one of the methods of feedback with company employees. It is a kind of survey using a special questionnaire form.

The question-answer procedure is strictly regulated, which allows you to focus exclusively on the intended subject of research.

Among the main advantages of the survey are:

  • Minimum labor costs during its preparation, implementation and processing of the received data
  • Minimum costs when reaching a large number of respondents at a time
  • Guaranteed anonymity and, as a result, a high probability of reliability of the information received
  • Possibility of explaining to the respondent a question that was formulated incomprehensibly for him
  • Possibility of conducting research and obtaining results within a short period of time

Types of surveys

Questioning is divided into several types:

  • Continuous or selective
  • Named or anonymous
  • Full-time or part-time

At continuous questioning All company employees are surveyed. It is justified in cases where it is necessary to obtain the opinion of employees on strategic issues. For example, about their loyalty to management or to the organization as a whole.

Sample survey carried out to obtain feedback on any issue. For example, about the difficulties experienced during the period of adaptation to the company. In this case, only a certain group of employees, or a specific department, or a specific division is surveyed.

During personal survey Each employee enters his personal data into the application form, in particular, last name, first name and patronymic. At the same time, he carefully considers the answers to the questions posed. On the one hand, this is an undoubted advantage of this type of survey. On the other hand, there is large share the likelihood of receiving unreliable answers. And this is already a significant minus.

Anonymous survey gives more open and truthful statements, but also increases the number of hasty and thoughtless answers.

Face-to-face survey is held in the presence of a representative from its organizer at a certain time and place.

At correspondence survey forms are distributed in advance or sent by mail. You can fill them out at any time during the allotted period.

Selecting the purpose of the survey, respondents and content of the survey

Each questionnaire should first contain an appeal to the respondent with an explanation of the purpose of the questionnaire and a description of how to answer the questions, and at the end, gratitude for their cooperation and the information provided.

Before conducting the survey, you need to answer three questions:

  • For what purpose are we asking?
  • Who are we asking?
  • What are we asking?

The purpose of the survey is formulated individually in each specific case. It could be:

  • Employees' assessment of any event in the company
  • Collecting employee opinions on a specific issue or problem with the aim of further adjusting management’s actions, etc.

Depending on the goal, respondents are selected (all or part of the company’s employees, workers, employees or management, newcomers or old-timers, etc.).

Particular attention must be paid to the length of the questionnaire. According to experts, there should be no more than 15 and no less than 5 questions. In this case, it is possible to get the most objective picture about the subject of research. And employees will not have to be distracted from their main responsibilities for a long time.

  • Open - the answer is formulated by the respondent independently
  • Closed - the answer is selected from among those proposed
  • Straight. For example, “Do you know...?”, “Do you think...?”, “What is your opinion about...?” etc.
  • Indirect. For example, “There is an opinion that ... . What do you think?”

The procedure for conducting the survey

The procedure for conducting the survey is always the same. This:

  1. Determining the purpose of the survey
  2. Selecting the type of survey, group of respondents
  3. Drawing up a questionnaire
  4. Notification of a selected group of employees, their motivation
  5. Distributing questionnaires, filling out and collecting
  6. Analysis of the received data
  7. Writing a report for management
  8. Notifying employees about the results of the survey

Questioning is necessary and important!

Well-established feedback from employees is an important component of the success of any company. After all, making any management decision, making sure of its timeliness or correctness is sometimes very difficult without reliable information.

Questions.

1. For what purpose and how was the experiment carried out with two pendulums shown in Figure 64, a?

Purpose of the experience: Demonstration of the phenomenon of resonance. Progress of the experiment: 1) the oscillations of pendulum 1 are transmitted through the thread to pendulum 2, the length of which is constant, causing it to oscillate; 2) as the length of the thread of pendulum 1 decreases, the frequency of its oscillations will begin to approach the natural frequency of pendulum 2; 3) in this case, the amplitude of forced oscillations of pendulum 2 will increase; 4) at the moment when the frequency of the driving force of pendulum 1 coincides with the frequency of natural oscillations of pendulum 2 (the same length of the pendulum threads), the pendulums will oscillate in the same phases; 5) with a further decrease in the length of the thread of pendulum 1, the oscillation frequency of pendulum 2 will decrease.

2. What is the phenomenon called resonance?

The phenomenon of resonance is that when the frequency of the driving force coincides with the natural frequency of the system, the amplitude of the forced oscillations reaches its maximum value.

3. Which of the pendulums shown in Figure 64, b) oscillates in resonance with pendulum 3? By what signs did you determine this?

Pendulum 1 oscillates in resonance, because its thread length is equal to the length of the pendulum thread 3.

4. To which vibrations - free or forced - is the concept of resonance applicable?

The concept of resonance applies to forced oscillations.

5. Give examples showing that in some cases resonance can be a beneficial phenomenon, and in others it can be harmful.

The harmful manifestation of resonance can be seen in the example of the destruction of bridges, high-rise buildings, and the flooding of ships on the waves. The positive phenomenon of resonance appears, for example, when tuning musical instruments using a tuning fork in radio electronics.

Exercises.

1. Pendulum 3 (see Fig. 64, b) performs free oscillations.
a) What oscillations - free or forced - will pendulums 1, 2 and 4 perform?
b) What causes the driving force acting on pendulums 1, 2 and 4?
c) What are the natural frequencies of pendulums 1, 2 and 4 compared to the frequency of oscillation of pendulum 3?
d) Why does pendulum 1 oscillate in resonance with pendulum 3, but pendulums 2 and 4 do not?

a) pendulums 1, 2 and 4 will perform forced oscillations, because they vibrate under the influence of the cord; b) the driving force arises due to the oscillation of the pendulum; c) the frequency of pendulum 1 is equal to the frequency of pendulum 3, the frequency of pendulum 2 is greater than the frequency of pendulum 3, the frequency of pendulum 4 is less than the frequency of pendulum 3; d) since their lengths are the same, their natural frequencies coincide and they vibrate in resonance.

2. The water that the boy is carrying in the bucket begins to splash heavily. The boy changes the pace of his walk (or simply “knocks his foot”), and the splashing stops. Why is this happening?

The water begins to splash when the frequency of the boy’s steps coincides with the natural frequency of vibration of the bucket of water in the boy’s hands. If the frequencies do not match, then the bucket stops swinging strongly.

3. The natural frequency of the swing is 0.5 Hz. At what intervals should you push them in order to swing them as much as possible using a relatively small force?

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MEASUREMENTS?

Measurements may not be perfect. IN scientific research- as with any decision, we have to determine for ourselves an acceptable level of uncertainty. Only in this case can we move forward. For example, if you are taking medication and hope that it will relieve your severe headache, then it may be enough for you to know that this medicine helps to an ordinary person in 75% of cases. On the other hand, if changing your eating habits does little to reduce your already low chances of developing cardiovascular disease (for example, from 5 to 4.9%), it may not be enough to convince you to give up your favorite cakes.

In politics, the decision point is even less certain. The public is generally unclear about how much research needs to be done before changing laws or imposing restrictions. Necessary calculations are complicated by many factors. As discussed in the previous chapter, due to the ambiguity of goals and methods, it is very difficult, and sometimes even impossible, to conduct any reliable cost-benefit analysis.

Columnist The New York Times Nicholas Kristof, advocating caution in handling potentially dangerous chemicals such as bisphenol-A (BPA) in food or food packaging, wrote: “Research on BPA has been sounding the alarm for decades, and the data is still complex and ambiguous. That’s life: in the real world, legislative action usually has to be taken on the basis of ambiguous and controversial data.”

None of this is to say that we should not seek to quantify costs and benefits when setting policy. However, it is clear that we need to be clear about what each estimate means, how much it may vary depending on initial assumptions or goals, and what was and was not taken into account in the calculations. Cost-benefit analysis can be useful, but it can also provide a false sense of certainty, reliability and security, which often leads to rash decisions.

Fortunately for us, physicists tend to pose simpler questions than those faced by public policy makers. When dealing with pure knowledge that is not expected to be used in practice in the near future, you think about something completely different. Dimensions in the world elementary particles is also much simpler, at least in theory. All electrons are the same in nature. When making measurements, you have to think about statistical and systemic errors, but you can safely forget about the heterogeneity of the population. The behavior of one electron gives us reliable information about the behavior of all electrons. Nevertheless, the concepts of statistical and systemic error are also applicable here.

However, even in “simple” physical systems, it is necessary to decide in advance what accuracy we need, because there are no ideal measurements. In practice, the question comes down to how many times the experimenter should repeat the measurement and how precise meter at the same time use. The decision is his. The acceptable level of uncertainty is determined by the questions asked. Different purposes require different levels of precision and accuracy.

For example, atomic clocks measure time with an accuracy of one part in ten trillion, but few people need such an accurate representation of time. The exception is experiments to test Einstein's theory of gravity: there cannot be excessive precision and accuracy in them. So far, all tests show that this theory works, but measurements are constantly being improved. With higher precision, previously unseen deviations may appear, representing new physical effects, which could not be noticed during previous, less accurate experiments. If this happens, the observed deviations will allow us to look into the realm of new physical phenomena. If not, you will have to conclude that Einstein's theory is even more accurate than previously established. We will know that it can be applied confidently over a wider range of energies and distances, and with greater accuracy.

If we “just” need to deliver a man to the Moon, then we, naturally, cannot do without knowledge of physical laws, sufficient to not miss, but it is not necessary to involve the general theory of relativity, and even more so it is not necessary to take into account even more minor potential effects representing possible deviations from it.

To measure losses and no-load current of the transformer, an no-load experiment is carried out. Measuring cold losses allows you to check the condition of the magnetic circuit. If it is damaged (the insulation between the sheets is broken), the loss of chemical increase. A sharp increase in the cold current. and losses x.x. are an indicator of the presence of a short circuit between the turns of one of the windings, local heating and damage to the windings.

Experience x.x. carried out after testing the electrical insulation strength. This is done in order to detect possible defects after this test.

When experimenting x.x to the winding low voltage LV with the HV winding open, the rated voltage is supplied.

ATTENTION! On the transformer, it is necessary to remove the ends of the cable from the HV terminals. To remove the characteristics x.x. it is necessary to assemble the circuit shown in Figure 3.4.

Figure 3.4 - Scheme for reading the idle speed characteristics: 1- induction regulator; 2 - set of devices K-50 or K-505; 3 - transformer under test.

Applying voltage to the LV winding in the range from 0.5 to 1.1 U n, take measurements of voltage, current and losses for each phase. U a is measured with the K-505 kit. The K-505 measuring kit measures phase voltage, phase current and phase power, and U av, U sun, U ac with a PV voltmeter. Enter the measurement data into table 3.6.

Power R xx almost entirely is spent on covering losses in the steel of the transformer core R st, since at x.x. losses in the windings are negligible compared to losses in steel, then we can accept R st » R xx.

Based on the measurements, it is necessary to construct the characteristics of the x.x. transformer I xx, P xx =f(U xx). For newly commissioned transformers, the values R xx should not differ from the factory data by more than 10% ( P xx =340 W for transformer TM-63/10).

7 Short circuit experience.

To measure losses and short-circuit voltage, a short-circuit (short-circuit) experiment is performed. With the experience of short circuit check the correct connection of the transformer windings and the condition of the contact connections.

Experience k.z. is carried out for the transformer at the rated voltage regulation stage according to the scheme shown in Figure 3.5.

Smoothly raising the voltage, set in the LV winding a current lower than the rated current within 20% I n, i.e. Ik =20 A.

ATTENTION! Make measurements as quickly as possible to avoid heating the windings.

According to catalog data P KN = 1290 W for transformer TM-63/10. Short circuit losses of transformers consist of the sum of losses in the windings åI 2 R, (R is the active phase resistance of the transformer winding) and additional losses P ext. from the passage of magnetic leakage fluxes through the walls of the tank, the metal parts of the magnetic core fastening and the conductors of the windings themselves, as well as losses in the magnetic core from magnetization. Magnetization losses are neglected due to their small value (less than hundredths of a percent). Then R ext. = R k - åI 2 R .

8 When measuring the DC resistance of transformer windings, the following characteristic defects may be revealed:

a) poor-quality soldering and poor contacts in the winding and in the connection of the inputs;

b) break of one or more parallel conductors.

Measurement active resistance The windings in this case are made using the bridge method or the ammeter and voltmeter method. The measurement is carried out on all branches and on all phases. These measurements should be entered in Table 3.8.

LABORATORY WORK No. 4

DEFECTIVENESS OF INDUCTION ELECTRIC MOTORS

WITH SHORT-CIRCUIT AND PHASE ROTOR

DURING REPAIR

Purpose of the work: to study the main malfunctions of asynchronous electric motors and the causes of their occurrence, to master the methodology for detecting malfunctions of asynchronous electric motors.

Work program.

1 Conduct an external inspection of the electric motor and write down the passport data.

2 Carry out fault detection of the electric motor before disassembling:

Measure the DC resistance of the windings;

Measure the insulation resistance of the stator windings relative to the housing and relative to each other;

Check the rotation of the rotor and the absence of visible damage that would prevent further testing and inspection.

3 Disassemble the electric motor.

4 Carry out fault detection of the electric motor in disassembled form:

Check the condition of the mechanical parts and components of the electric motor;

Measure the size of the air gap between the stator and the rotor;

Check the absence of short-circuited turns (turn short circuit), a break in the winding;

Determine the location of damage to the stator windings;

Determine, record winding data and draw a winding diagram;

Check the condition of the stator active steel;

Check the rotor squirrel cage for breaks in the rods and rings.

If there is an electric motor with a wound rotor, then fault detection of the rotor winding is carried out in the same way as fault detection of the stator winding. Additionally, the insulation strength of the slip rings is tested and the condition of the active steel of the rotor is checked;

All detected malfunctions of mechanical parts, rotor and stator windings, electric motor data should be entered into the defect list or technological map repair.

1 Asynchronous electric motors received for repair are carefully inspected, and, if necessary, tested and disassembled in order to fully identify the causes, nature and extent of damage. Inspection of the electric motor, familiarization with the scope and nature of previous repairs and operational logs, as well as testing allow us to assess the condition of all assembly units and parts of the electric motor and determine the scope and timing of repairs, and draw up technical documentation for repairs.

Electric motors are most often damaged due to unacceptably long operation without repair, poor maintenance or violation of the operating mode for which they are designed.

Damage can be mechanical or electrical.

To mechanical damage include: smelting of babbitt in plain bearings, destruction of the cage, ring, ball or roller in rolling bearings; deformation or breakage of the rotor shaft; loosening of the stator core to the frame, rupture or slipping of the rotor wire bands; weakening of the compaction of the rotor core and others.

Electrical damage are: breakage of conductors in the winding, short circuit between the turns of the winding, broken contacts and destruction of connections made by soldering or welding, breakdown of insulation on the housing, unacceptable decrease in insulation resistance due to its aging, destruction or moisture, etc.

A short list of the most common faults and possible causes of their occurrence in asynchronous machines is given in Table 4.1.

Malfunctions and damage to electric motors cannot always be detected by external inspection, since some of them (turn short circuits in the stator windings, breakdown of insulation on the housing, soldering failure in the windings, etc.) are hidden and can only be determined after appropriate tests and measurements.

Table 4.1 - Malfunctions of asynchronous machines and possible causes of their occurrence

2 Defects of the electric motor before disassembly.

The number of pre-repair operations to identify faults in electric motors includes: measuring the insulation resistance of the windings, checking the integrity of the windings, testing the electrical strength of the insulation, checking the bearings at idle speed, the value of the axial run of the rotor, determining the condition of fasteners, the absence of damage (cracks, chips) in individual electric motor parts:

a) measuring the direct current resistance of the windings is carried out in order to check the absence of breaks in the winding, for example, due to a violation of the integrity of the connections as a result of poor-quality soldering. Resistance is measured using a DC bridge UMV, P353 and others with an accuracy class of at least 0.5. The measured winding resistances should not differ from each other by more than 2%;

b) measurement of the insulation resistance of the electric motor windings is carried out according to the methodology set out in the general instructions (page 8-9) .

c) the rotor of the electric motor is turned to check its free rotation and the presence of overrun. For small machines this operation is carried out manually. Such a check is required before the first start-up of the machine or after parking it for a long time in conditions where foreign objects could get into the machine.

3 The electric motor is disassembled using metalworking tools.

4. Defects of the disassembled electric motor are carried out in the following order:

4.1 Determine the condition of mechanical parts and individual components by external inspection.

4.2 Check the size of the air gap with a set of feeler gauges at at least four points, turning the rotor clockwise through an angle of 90°. The arithmetic mean value of the measurement results is compared with acceptable values(Table 4.2). The deviation should not exceed ±10%.

Table 4.2 - Normal values ​​of air gaps

asynchronous motors

4.3 Determine insulation damage in the electric motor that leads to short circuits.

Depending on the type of insulation damage, the following short circuits are possible:

Between the turns of one coil in a groove or frontal parts (turn short circuit) in case of damage to the interturn insulation;

Between coils or coil groups of the same phase in case of damage to the intersection insulation;

Between coils of different phases in case of damage to the interphase insulation;

Short circuit to the housing when the slot insulation is damaged.

Passing alternating current undervoltage Through the individual phases of the winding, the location of the turn short circuit can be determined. Short-circuited turns when the phase is turned on are like the secondary winding of an autotransformer, short-circuited. Large currents flow through the short-circuited turns, which heat the front part of the winding. Based on local heating, the location of the turn circuit is determined.

A closed turn is easily determined using a horseshoe-shaped electromagnet.

Figure 4.1 - Finding a closed turn using an electromagnet and a steel plate, where it is indicated: a) there is no short circuit of the turns; b) there is a closure of the turns; 1 - winding conductor; 2 – electromagnet; 3 - steel plate; F - magnetic flux of the magnet; F pr - magnetic flux of a short-circuited conductor with current.

To find short-circuited turns in the winding sections, the electromagnet is installed parallel to the stator slots. After turning on the electromagnet winding in electrical network alternating current (220 V at a frequency of 50 Hz), a current will flow through the winding, which will create a magnetic flux F, closing through the electromagnet core and part of the magnetic circuit of the stator of the electric motor. This alternating magnetic flux will induce an emf in the conductors covered by the loop.

In the absence of turn short circuits (Figure 4.1-a) in the winding, the EMF does not cause the appearance of current (there is no closed circuit for it). If there are short-circuited turns, the EMF will cause a current to appear in them, and of a significant magnitude due to the low resistance of the circuit. The current will create a magnetic flux F pr around the short-circuited turns (Figure 4.1-b). The latter are easily detected by a steel plate, which is attracted to the stator teeth above this groove. In production, an EL-1 type device is also widely used to determine turn faults.

Short to body(if the megohmmeter shows zero) can be determined using a millivoltmeter. This method is associated with alternately wiring the winding into separate coils and checking each of them. Voltage is supplied to both ends of the damaged phase from one terminal of the battery with a voltage of up to 2.5 V, and the second terminal is connected to the housing. When measuring the voltage on each coil, a change in the polarity of the instrument reading indicates the passage of the point of phase closure to the housing. Due to the complexity of the work, this method is not always acceptable, especially when large number coils

It is better to use the magnetic method (2), which is based on the following. From a reduced voltage source (U to 36 V), single-phase alternating current is supplied to the end (or beginning) of the faulty phase and through a rheostat and ammeter to the motor housing. Since the current is alternating, an alternating electromagnetic field is formed around the conductors with this current. Therefore, the grooves with a conductor through which current flows are easily determined using a thin steel plate (probe), which rattles slightly. The latter makes it possible to identify sections through which current flows from the end of the phase winding to the point of short circuit to the housing. To check and clarify the location of the winding short circuit found, the current is now supplied to the beginning of the faulty phase. With a single winding short circuit, the found short circuit locations in the first and second cases should converge.

The faulty coil found by the magnetic method is disconnected from the rest of the winding and the correct location of the short circuit to the housing is checked with a megohmmeter.

The same method can be used to find the location of a fault between phases.

In this case, voltage is applied first to one end of the closed phases, and then to the other. This makes it possible to identify closed sections.

Internal break of one of the phases.

If the winding has six terminals, then the broken phase is determined using a tester or a megohmmeter.

If the winding has only three terminals, then the broken phase is determined by measuring currents or resistances.

When connecting the phases in a star, (Figure 4.2) the current of the broken phase equal to zero, and the resistance measured relative to the output of the broken phase is equal to “infinity”.

Figure 4.2 - Determination of internal phase loss when connecting phases in a star.

When connecting the phases in a triangle, the currents approaching the broken phase (Figure 4.3) will be equal to and less than the currents in the (unbroken) phase, and the resistance measured on the broken phase (C1-C3) will be twice as large as the other phases (C1-C2, S2-NW).

Figure 4.3 - Determination of internal phase loss when connecting phases in a triangle.

After determining the broken phase, the location of the break is determined with


using a voltmeter or test lamp (36 V) according to diagrams Figure 4.4-a and 4.4-b.

Figure 4.4 - Determining the location of a break in a broken phase:

a) using a voltmeter; b) using a control lamp.

Measure the voltage at the ends of each coil or coil group. At the moment the voltmeter reads, a broken coil is detected (Figure 4.4a). By touching the probe from the lamp to the beginning and end of each coil, coming from the potential end of the network, the lamp reading will indicate a break (the lamp goes out, which means there is a break, if on the other side, then vice versa).

For one of the induction motors under consideration (with a faulty coil), determine and record the winding data and draw the winding diagram.

Inspect the stator active steel package. The steel package should not have displacement, dents, weakening of the pressing of iron sheets, fluffy teeth, or burnout.

The integrity of the squirrel-cage rotor rods is determined by the AC electromagnet method. During testing, the rotor is installed on an electromagnet connected to the alternating current network (Figure 4.5).


Figure 4.5 - Determination of a broken rotor rod using an electromagnet: 1 - rotor, 2 - rotor rods, 3 - electromagnet, 4 - steel plate (hacksaw blade).

A steel plate that overlaps a groove with a whole rod will be attracted and rattle. If the rod is torn, the plate does not attract or attracts very weakly. The location of the rupture is detected using a sheet of paper with steel filings sprinkled on it.

Detected malfunctions of mechanical parts, stator and rotor windings, data of electric motors submitted for defect detection should be entered in the defect list or repair flow chart.

LABORATORY WORK No. 5

Testing an asynchronous electric motor

with wound rotor after repair

Purpose of the work: to master the testing methodology for an electric motor with a wound rotor after repair.

Work program:

1 Inspect the electric motor, check the tightness of the mounting bolts, the rotation of the rotor, write down the passport data.

2 Measure the insulation resistance of the stator windings relative to the housing and relative to each other and the insulation resistance of the rotor windings relative to the housing.

3 Mark the output ends for direct and alternating current.

4 Measure the resistance of the stator and rotor windings to direct current.

5 Check the transformation ratio of an asynchronous electric motor with a wound rotor.

6 Carry out an idle test.

7 Carry out a turn-to-turn insulation test.

8 Carry out a short circuit experiment.

9 Carry out an insulation strength test.

1 During an external inspection of the electric motor, check the tightening of the mounting bolts and the rotation of the rotor. When rotating the rotor manually, there should be no jamming or play in the bearings. The passport data of the electric motor is recorded.

2 Measuring the insulation resistance of the electric motor windings is carried out according to the methodology set out in the general instructions (page 8-9) . . Record the measurement data in table 5.1.

Table 5.1- Insulation resistance of electric motor windings

3 GOST 183-66 provides designations for winding terminals electric machines three-phase alternating current (table 5.2).

Table 5.2 - Designation of the winding terminals of three-phase alternating current electrical machines

Typically, the terminals of all phases of the stator winding are connected to the terminals, as shown in Figure 5.1 a. In some machines, the stator windings are tightly connected in a star and only four terminals are connected to the terminal board: phases C1, C2, C3 and zero point 0.

If there is no marking of the stator winding terminals, then paired phase terminals are first found using a test lamp; one of the phase terminals is taken as the beginning of the winding and connected to the plus of a DC source with a voltage of 4-6 V; one of the terminals of the test lamp is connected to the negative of the source, and the second terminal of the lamp is used to find the end of the phase winding. Or a megohmmeter is connected with the “Line” clamp of the megohmmeter to the expected beginning of the phase of the stator winding and the end of the phase is found with a wire connected to the “Earth” terminal of the megohmmeter. In this case, the megohmmeter will show zero. After this, a tag with markings (C1, C2 ...) is put on each phase terminal.

Marking of the output ends is carried out using direct or alternating current. With direct current, two options are most common (Figure 5.2)

The terminals are marked using a battery ( U = 4 - 6 V) and a millivoltmeter (M104).

In the first option a) we take C1, C2, SZ as the beginning of phases 1,2,3, and C4, C5, C6 as the ends of these phases. If the beginning of phase 1 is connected to the “plus” of the battery, and the end to the “minus” (Fig. 5.2, a) , then at the moment the current is turned on, an EMF with polarity “minus” at the beginning and “plus” at the ends of the phases will be induced in the windings of other phases (2 and 3). The millivoltmeter is connected to phase 2, and then to phase 3. If the arrow of the device in both cases deviates to the right, then all ends of the windings are marked correctly.

Figure 5.2 - Schemes for checking the marking of stator terminals using a direct current source: a) - first option; b) and c) - second option; N and K - respectively, the beginnings and ends of windings 1,2,3.

In the second option b) and c) two phases are connected in series (in pairs) with each other and the pulse is switched on to the battery. A millivoltmeter is connected to the third phase. If the first two phases are connected by terminals of the same name (Figure 5.2.b.), the millivoltmeter will not show anything. When the phases are connected with opposite terminals (Figure 5.2.c), at the moment the battery is turned on, the millivoltmeter needle will deflect to the right.

With alternating current and with six phase ends removed, the most common is the induction method of marking the terminals (Figure 5.3).
