Theory: - An ac servomotor is nothing but a 2 phase induction motor with certain changes in
the design of a rotor. Generally a 2 phase induction motor consists of 2 stator windings oriented at 90 degree voltage of equal magnitude and 90 degree phase difference are applied at stator winding . This results in magnetic field of constant magnitude but rotating at synchronous speed . The direction of rotation depends upon the phase relationship between the voltages V 1 and V2 applied to stator and rotor respectively . The field sweep over the rotor voltages are induced in the rotor producing current in short circuit motor(rotor) which produces a magnetic field in direction of rotating stator field As mentioned above in servomotor the rotor has an special design such that the rotor resistance is kept as high as possible so that the X/R ratio is small and torque characteristics are made linear. The Variation of resistances of a rotor of induction motor vs the torque are shown in the figure.

Procedure: 1. Make the connection as shown in diagram. 2. Initially both autotransformers are kept at zero position. 3. Supply the rotor voltage to the reference winding through auto transformer i.e. 230 volts. 4. Now varying the control winding note down the corresponding reading of variation of speed.

5. Now adjust the reference voltage at 200 volt and take the readings as above. 6. Similarly take one set of reading for reference voltage of 150 volt up to here capacitance has fixed value of 0.1 micro farad. 7. Now fix the reference voltage at 230 volt and vary the capacitance to 0.4 micro farad and take the reading varying the control winding by auto transformer.
