The purpose of this work was to obtain a measuring system to experimentally determine the instantaneous magnitude and frequency of the torques from zero to 2400 Hertz produced by a single phase motor. This paper explains the methods employed in designing and fabricating a measuring system and shows the results from tests using this equipment. It was found that a measuring system based on the determination of the instantaneous value of the stator\u27s reaction torques could be realized. Also, it was found that some simple methods of computation could be used to find the magnitudes of the frequency components comprising these instantaneous torques --Abstract, page ii
