Locked rotor current is the amount of current a motor would draw if you energize the motor and the rotor (the spinning shaft) doesn't spin.

What is a locked rotor?

A rotor that doesn't move. Usually manually activated or automatically activated.


How do you measure lock rotor amps?

Compressor locked rotor amps are measured with an amp-probe or clip on ampmeter. Lock rotor amps are amps with the rotor not turning/moving, and the winding at ambient temperature. locked rotor amps are X4.5 to X5 times the FLA of motor name plate.

What are No Load And Locked Rotor tests on a three phase induction motor?

Doing a No Load test of a 3-phase induction motor involves the measuring of current, voltage, torque etc with no load on the rotor shaft, meaning that it is free to turn but is not driving anything else. Similarly a Locked Rotor test involves the measuring of current, voltage, torque etc with the rotor shaft "locked" i.e. prevented from turning, which is the worst loading condition the motor would ever have to contend with.


Is the induction motors running current or its locked rotor current more important in generator selection?

Running current. The locked rotor amps are only seen at initial start up which only lasts a fraction of a second to one or two seconds.

What is locked rotor in three phase induction motor?

A motors locked rotor current is the same as the motors starting current. This is the point where the voltage is applied to a non rotating motor, time cycle zero. Because the motor is not rotation and generating a back EMF to oppose the inrush current, the current will go as high as 6 times the running current of the motor.
