From the above phasor diagram
Vph2 = (Vm Cosqs + IS Rm)2 + (Vm Sinqs +IS Xm +IS XSO + XSO (Im2-Im1))2 ---------- (I)
Motor Starting Current IS : Ist Vm/ Vph ----------(a)
For constant kVA modeling Im2 : Im1 Vph/ Vb ----------(b)
Also, bus voltage Vb : (Vm cos qs+ IS Rm)2 + (Vm sin qs +IS Xm)2 ----------(c)
Putting the Equations (a), (b) & (c) in Equation (I) we get)
