Q&A What reactance actually is?

I saw that equation of reactance is written like this $$I=\frac{V}{|R+X_L j|}$$ $$I=\frac{V}{|R-X_c j|}$$ When there's capacitor and inductor in a single circuit then it is written like : $$I=\...

Q&A How is it possible to perform a open circuit test on a induction motor?

Your basic problem is that the motor needs some applied power to generate any EMF, but if you apply that power then its not an open circuit test. For a true induction motor you're probably stuck. ...
