1 Start giving connections as per the circuit diagram from one side of the circuit.

2 Series circuits are to be only given first, with the help of power wires.

3 Make parallel connections, namely voltmeters last using silk wires.

4 Terminals of the meters should not be used as junction points. There should not be any

loose connection. Thoroughly check the connections and keep re rheostat pos itions

suitable for starting. Also keep all meters in such a way to read the read ings

conveniently. Call staff to check the connections.

DOING EXPERIMENTS:1 Start the experiment as per the procedure. First check for the direction of rotation in

case of machines and deflection of meters.

2 If any of the things are wrong, then SWITCH OFF and modify the connections. Informto the staff and then START.

OBSERVATION:1 Enter all readings in the tabulation. Note down the multiplication factor of any meter

immediately. .

2 During load test on motors, the needle of the spring balances may be vibrating.

3 Arrest gently the vibration and take the reading.

4 At the time of over loading, the readings are to be taken quickly.

5 Pour water in the brake drum at the time of loading.

CALCULATION:1 Calculate all required quantities and enter in the tabulation. Units are VERY, VERY

PORTANT.Draw the necessary graphs. Write the result. Show it to the staff for getting

signature.

Additional Instructions

Avoid wearing any loose metallic rings, straps or bangles, as they are likely to prove

dangerous at times.

Before entering into the laboratory class, you must be well prepared for the experiment

that you are going to do on that day.

You must bring the related textbook, which may deal with the relevant experiment.

Get the circuit diagram approved with correct meter & fuse ratings

Get the reading verified. Then inform the technician so that supply to the worktable can be

switched off.

You must get the observation note corrected within two days from the date of completion

of experiment. Write the answer for all the discussion questions in the observation note. If

not, marks for concerned observation will be proportionately reduced.

If you miss any practical class due to unavoidable reasons, intimate the staff in charge and

dothe missed experiment in the repetition class.

Such of those students who fail to put in a minimum of 75% attendance in the laboratory

class will run the risk of not being allowed for the University Practical Examination. They

will have to repeat the lab course in subsequent semester after paying prescribed fee.

Avoid wearing any loose metallic rings, straps or bangles, as they are likely to prove

dangerous at times.

Girls should put their plait inside their overcoat

Acquire a good knowledge of the surrounding of your worktable. Know where the various

livepoints are situated in your table.

In case of any unwanted things happening, immediately switch off the mains in the

worktable. The same must be done when there is a power break during the experiment

being carried out.

Avoid carrying too many instruments at the same time.

Avoid using water hydrant for electrical fires.

1.GENERAL:

How to fix rating?

1 We have to fix meters and provide fuse for the experiment. Identify the correct

machine/transformer on which experiment is to be conducted. Notedown the complete

NAMEPLATE DETAILS including Name of the company, Serial No, etc of the

machine / transformer in your observation notebook.

2 MOVING COIL METERS are to be used for measuring dc quantities.3 MOVING IRON METERS are to be used for measuring ac quantities.

2. LOAD EXPERIMENTS:1 In this case, we have to load upto 125% of rated capacity. By seeing the Nameplate

details, ammeters, voltmeters can be selected. It may be MC or MI meters. Normally

rated voltages are to be measured (0-300V) MC for dc and (0-300V) MI for single

phase ac and (0-600V) MI voltmeters for 3 phase ac may be used.

2 Power measurement using wattmeters must be carefully done. Under load conditions,

powerfactor will be high; henceUPF wattmeters may be used, with suitable voltage and

current level.

3 Under no-load conditions, Power factor will be poor; hence LPF wattmeters with

correct voltage and current levels may be selected.

4 In the case of transformers, kVA rating will be known from the Name plate details. For

eg: 1 KVA; 200/100V 1 phase ac transformer has the rated current in the primary ,

Ip = 200 =5A;

and In the Secondary, Is = 100 =10A;

Hence ammeters for Primary and Secondary in this case may be (0- 5A)MI and (0-10A)MI respectively are used when load experiments are conducted.

3. NO LOAD EXPERIMENTS:

Voltmeters may be selected suitably. Since there is no load, the ammeter may be oflower range. Normally, no-load current will be around 10% and 15% of rated current in

the case of machines and transformers respectively. According to the no-load currentvalue arrived, appropriate ammeter may be used.

4. LOAD:There is no difficulty in the case of motors, because mechanical (brake down) loads may be

employed.But in the case of generators and transformers, power rating and voltage level of the

loads are to be specified. Normally water loads, resistive loads and lamp loads are ava ilable.

By seeing the nameplate of the machine, the voltage and power of the load is to be specified. .

5. FUSE:Fuse is an important element in an electric circuit. It is a protective element. Fuse is to be

provided in order to protect machines and meters. Fuse rating in any case should not exceed

rated current of the machines in the case of load experiments and not exceed the amme terrange in the case of no-load experiments.

Duties of a student

1. Attend the classes regularly. Class may be missed only under exceptional

circumstances beyond ones control.

2. Take class notes in separate notebook for each subject.

3. Write down all that written by the teacher on the board. In addition write down somepoints told by the teacher orally. This will keep your attention focussed towards the

subject and will help you to appreciate the teachers lecture better.

4. Refer your class notes while reading from a book.

5. Purchase at least one textbook written by a standard author or as suggested by your

teacher or as prescribed by the University. Cheap books, books having large number of

solved problems etc. can be additional source material, but these cannot substitute a

textbook. Cost of a book is much lower than the cost of marks and knowledge.

6. Take the unit tests seriously by giving your best performance. Your performance intests will be an indicator towards your future performance in the university

examinations.

7. Do a lot of writing work at home. Writing is remembering. Remembering through

writing is faster than remembering through reading. In addition writing will help you toremember the spellings, improve your grammar and writing speed. Formulae and their

derivations can be learned through writing only. Solve a large number of unsolved and

also solved problems independently.

8. Take your studies seriously. Get very good marks in the University examinations

because these are a must for a good placement. As only brilliant students are admitted

in this college, a little hard work may lead you to get University Ranks. Getting a

University Rank will be an achievement that will deliver you fruits for the lifetime in

several different ways. This is MUST for good placement also.

9. Do not hesitate to consult your teacher in case of any difficulty in understanding anytopic. Do not accumulate your doubts.

Basic duties to be completed to get the permission to do the experiment1) All the members in the groups have to go through the experiment and

Complete the given circuit diagram(s) with fuse rating, instrument ratings,

Apparatus required tables and all other required things.

2) Each student has to answer the following questions compulsorily.

i) What is the aim of the exercise?

ii) What is the procedure to do the exercise?

iii) What are the precations?

iv) Two or three qtns given at each exercise.

Those who are unable to meetout the above requirement, need not be allowed to

do the exercise.

LABORATORY PRACTICE

SAFETY RULES

1 SAFETY is of paramount importance in the Electrical Engineering Laboratories.

2 Electricity NEVER EXECUSES careless persons. So, exercise enough

care and attention in handling electrical equipment and follow safety practices in the

laboratory.(Electricity is a good servant but a bad master).

3 Avoid direct contact with any voltage source and power line voltages.

(Otherwise, any such contact may subject you to electrical shock)

4. Wear rubber-soled shoes.

(To insulate you from earth so that even if you accidentally contact a live point,currentwill not flow through your body to earth and hence you will be protected from

electrical shock)

5. Wear laboratory-coat and avoid loose clothing.

(Loose clothing may get caught on an equipment/instrument and this may lead

to an accident particularly if the equipment happens to be a rotating machine)

6. Girl students should have their hair tucked under their coat or have it in a knot.

7. Do not wear any metallic rings, bangles, bracelets, wristwatches and neck chains.

(When you move your hand/body, such conducting items may create a short c ircuit

or may touch a live point and thereby subject you to electrical shock)

8. Be certain that your hands are dry and that you are not standing on wet floor.

(Wet parts of the body reduce the contact resistance thereby increasing the severity

of the shock)

9. Ensure that the power is OFF before you start connecting up the circuit.

(Otherwise you will be touching the live parts in the circuit)

10. Get your circuit diagram approved by the staff member and connect up the circuit

strictly as per the approved circuit diagram.

11. Check power chords for any sign of damage and be certain that the chords use safety

plugs and do not defeat the safety feature of these plugs by using ungrounded plugs.

12. When using connection leads, check for any insulation damage in the leads and avoid

such defective leads.

13. Do not defeat any safety devices such as fuse or circuit breaker by shorting across it.

7


7/47


Safety devices protect YOU and your equipment.

14. Switch on the power to your circuit and equipment only after getting them checked

Up and approved by the staff member.

15. Take the measurement with one hand in your pocket.

(To avoid shock in case you accidentally touch two points at different potentialswith your two hands)

16. Do not make any change in the connection without the approval of the staff member.

17. In case you notice any abnormal condition in your circuit ( like insulation heating up,

resistor heating up etc ), switch off the power to your circuit immediately and

inform the staff member.

18. Keep hot soldering iron in the holder when not in use.

19. After completing the experiment show your readings to the staff member and switch off

the power to your circuit after getting approval from the staff member.20. While performing load-tests in the Electrical Machines Laboratory using the

brake-drums:

(i) Avoid the brake-drum from getting too hot by putting just enough water

into the brake-drum at intervals; use the plastic bottle with

a nozzle (available in the laboratory ) to pour the water.(When the drum

gets too hot, it will burn out the braking belts)(ii) Do not stand in front of the brake-drum when the supply to the load-test

circuit is switched off. (Otherwise, the hot water in the brake-drum will

splash out on you)

(iii) After completing the load-test, suck out the water in the brake-drum usingthe plastic bottle with nozzle and then dry off the drum with a sponge

which is available in the laboratory.(The water, if allowed to remain in the

brake-drum, will corrode it)

21. Determine the correct rating of the fuse/s to be connected in the circuit after

understanding correctly the type of the experiment to be performed:

no-load test or full-load test, the maximum current expected in the circuit and

accordingly use that fuse-rating.(While an over-rated fuse will damage theequipment and other instruments like ammeters and watt-meters in case of over load,

an under-rated fuse may not allow one even to start the experiment)

22. At the time of starting a motor, the ammeter connected in the armature circuit

overshoots, as the starting current is around 5 times the full load rating of the

motor. Moving coil ammeters being very delicate, may get damaged due tohigh starting current. A switch has been provided on such meters to disconnect

the moving coil of the meter during starting. This switch should be closed after

the motor attains full speed. Moving iron ammeters and current coils of wattmeters

are not so delicate and hence these can stand short time overload due to high

starting current. No such switch is therefore provided on these meters. Moving

iron meters are cheaper and more rugged compared to moving coil meters.

21. Moving iron meters can be used for both a.c. and d.c. measurement.

8


8/47

22. Moving coil instruments are however more sensitive and more accurate as compared

to their moving iron counterparts and these can be used for d.c. measurements on ly.

Good features of moving coil instruments are not of much consequence for you as

other sources of errors in the experiments are many times more than those caused

by these meters.

23. Some students have been found to damage meters by mishandling in the following

ways:i. Keeping unnecessary material like books, lab records, unused meters etc.

causing meters to fall down the table.ii. Putting pressure on the meter (specially glass) while making connections or

while talking or listening somebody.

iii. Switching on the circuit without getting the connections checked by the staff.

STUDENTS ARE STRICTLY WARNED THAT FULL COST OF THE METER WILL

BE RECOVERED FROM THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS DAMAGED IT IN SUCH A

MANNER.

AIM:

Load Characteristics of D.C Separately Excited Shunt Generator.(P.325 & 333 of text book)

I. To determine the no load magnetization or open circuit characteristic separate

ly

excited dc shunt generator, compare it with self excited one, and hence

a. To deduce the O.C.C. for various speed, 1000 and 1250 rpm.

b. To determine the critical field resistance and critical speed.

II. To determine the external and internal (load) characteristics of the separately excited

DC shunt generator by actually loading the machine.

APPARA TUS REQUIRED:

S.No Name of the apparatus Range Type Quantity12345678

THEORY: (i) O.C.C

In any D.C generator generated emf is d1rectly proportional to the exciting field current

i.e. flux. O.C.C shows the relation between the no-load generated emf in the armature, 'Eo'and the field or exciting current 'Ifat a given fixed speed.

It should be noted that OCC for a higher speed would be above this curve and for a

lower speed, would be below it.

(ii) Load Charactristics:

Let us consider a dc generator giving its rated no load voltage 'Eo' for a certain

constant field current. If there were no armature reaction and armature voltage drop, then this

voltage would have remained constant as shown in modal graph by the dotted horizontal line I.

But when the generator is loaded, the voltage falls due to these two causes, thereby

giving slightly drooping characteristics. If we subtract from Eo the value of voltage drops due

to armature reaction for different loads, then we get the value of E, the emf actually induced

in the armature under load conditions. Curve II is plotted in this way and is known as the

INTERNAL CHARACTERISTIC.If we subtract from E the armature drop laRa, we get terminal voltage V. The reverse

procedure may also be adopted to obtain Internal characteristic (ie) adding laRa to V. Curve III

represents the EXTERNAL CHARACTERISTIC.

Comparison of self and separately excited generator gen characteristics:Since the field current depends on terminal voltage in self excited generator, its load

characteristics would be more drooping than the other one. In O.C.C. there is no much

appreciable difference between the two types.

To determine the external characteristics of a dc compound generator by conducting

load test.

Quantity1 Ammeter 0-10A MC 12 Voltmeter 0-300V MC 13 Rheostat(R1, R2) 1000/ 1A 24 Loading Rheostat 3 KW/ 230V

THEORY:The compound generators have both shunt and series field windings. If the series field

ampere turns are such as to produce the same voltage at rated load as at no-load, then the

generator is FLAT COMPOUNDED.

If the series field ampere turns are such that the fated load voltage is greater than the no-

load voltage, then the generator is OVER COMPOUNDED.

If the rated load voltage is less than the no-load voltage, then the generator is UNDER

COMPOUNDED. But such generators are seldom used.

Also it can be stated that if the series field aids the shunt field, it is CUMULATIVELY

COMPOUNDED. And if the, series field opposes the shunt field, it is DIFFERENTIALLY

COMPOUNDED. It can be achieved by reversing the connections of the series field.

Further if the shunt field is connected across both armature and series field, it is LONG

SHUNT and if the shunt field is connected across armature only, then it is called SHORTSHUNT.

4. Load test on D.C. Shunt Motor

(P.344 of text book)

To conduct the load test on a given dc shunt motor and draw the performance curves.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:


THEORY:Principle of operation of a D.C. motor:

To operate DC machine as motor, field windings are excited with DC source and Northand South Pole magnetic fields established in the air gap by the stator poles, a DC current has

to be passed through the armature terminals.

Current carrying armature conductors cause additional magnetic field to be set up.

Interaction of this magnetic field with the main magnetic field set up by the stator poles cause a

force to be developed around the conductors.

The force developed in all the conductors is unidirectional (anti-clockwise) due to

commutator action.

In case, clockwise direction is required either the direction of the main field or the

direction of the current through the armature conductor is to be reversed.

As the armature rotates, the system of conductors in the armature come across alternateNorth and South pole magnetic fields. Therefore an emf is induced in the conductors. This is

called as Back emf.

The plot of speed, torque, efficiency and input current (vs) output power are called the

performance characteristics of a motor.

The speed characteristics is almost a horizontal line and the speed regulation is good.

Hence a d.c shunt motor is generally referred to as a constant speed motor and are used in

applications such as lathes, centrifugal pump, machine tools, blower fans and etc.

The torque varies directly with the output load and the armature current because the

field is approximately constant over the load range .As compared to other motors a shunt motor

has a low means that a motor draws more current from the main supply than a series motor or a

compound motor at the time of starting. The small input current on no load goes to meet the

various losses occurring within the machine.

The efficiency curve with is usually the same for all motors It is advantageous to have

an efficiency curve which is fairly flat over a wide range of loads and having maximum

efficiency at full loads.

PROCEDURE:1. The circuit connections are given as shown in the circuit diagram. Ensure that there is

no load on the brake drum.

2. The supply is given by closing the DPST switch, keeping R1 in minimum resistanceposition.

3. The motor is started using the dc 3 point starter, and it is allowed to run at rated speed

by adjusting the rheostat R1 which is connected to the field circuit. After setting the

speed rheostat position should not be altered.

4. At no load condition, the input voltage, current and speed are noted using voltmeter,

ammeter and tachometer. For load spring balance reading S1 & S2 are noted.

5. Now the load on the brake drum is increased, gradually and the corresponding

voltmeter, ammeter readings and speed, spring balance readings are noted down and

tabulated.

6. Then the load is gradually decreased and field rheostat is brought to the minimum

position and the supply is switched off.

7. Then torque, input power, output power and percentage efficiency are calculated by

using the formulae and tabulated.

5.Speed Control of D.C.Shunt Motor(P.359 to 376 of text book)

To determine the speed control characteristics of a dc shunt motor by

i. Armature control method and

ii. Field Control method.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

S.No Name of the apparatus Range Type Qua

ntity12345

THEORY: (page no 359 to 376 of the text book)We know that back emf is given by the following equation.

Eb = V Ia Ra = ZNP / A

N = ( V Ia Ra / Z ) * A/P rps.

N = K ( V Ia Ra / ) rps

Simply,The speed of D.C. shunt motor = N V/

Where V = applied voltage (or armature voltage)

= flux. ( field current)

So the speed is directly proportional to armature voltage and inversely proportional to field

current.

it is clear that the variation of speed is Possible in three different ways:

(i) VARIATION OF FIELD (FLUX) CONTROL METHODA more economical method of speed control by rheostat adjustment of the field

current. If the field flux is reduced, the speed increases. Using this method, speed can be

increased above rated speed. In non- inter poles, it is in the ratio 2:1 and

in inter poles maximum to minimum speed of 6:1 is fairly common. But it is not possible to

reduce the speed below the rated speed.

The disadvantage of this method are i) Output torque gets reduced &

ii) Higher speed results in poor commutation.

(ii) .ARMA TURE CONTROL METHOD:

In this method, armature current is controlled by means of a rheostat in the armature

circuit. For a given armature current the larger the resistance of the controller, the smaller will

be the voltage across the armature and hence the speed will lower. This method is used when

Speed below the no-load speed is required.

The main disadvantages of this type of speed control are1. The losses are more and hence it is relatively more costly.

2. The efficiency is low.

3. The speed cannot be increased.

PROCEDURE:

ARMATURE CONTROL METHOD:1. Connections are given as shown in the circuit diagram and initially the field rheostat R1

is kept in minimum position and armature rheostat R2 is kept in maximum pos ition.

2. Supply is given and the motor is started. The armature resistance is cutdown and speed

is measured.3. If the motor runs below the rated speed, adjust the field rheostat and motor is brought

to its rated speed, The field current, 'If' is kept constant.

4. Now the armature voltage (ie potential drop across the armature) is varied by varyingthe armature rheostat and corresponding voltmeter, ammeter (la) readings and speed are

noted.

5. The same procedure is repeated for another value of constant field current 'If'

FIELD CONTROL METHOD:

1. The motor is run at the rated speed as usual. Armature voltage and hence armature

current is kept constant.

2. The field current is varied and the value of the field current 'If' and speed are noted in

the tabular column.3. The same procedure is repeated for another constant value of armature current.

GRAPH:ARMATURE CONTROL METHOD:

Graph is drawn between speed and armature voltage taking armature voltage along x axis

and speed along y axis.

FIELD CONTROL METHOD:

Graph is drawn between speed and field current, taking speed along y axis and field current

along x axis.

6. Load Test on D.C Series Motor

To conduct the load test on a dc series motor and to draw the performance

characteristic curves.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

S.No Name of the apparatus Range Type Quantity1 Ammeter 0-20A MC 12 Voltmeter 0-300V MC 1

THEORY:In a DC motor Speed is inversely proportionally to the field current. But in a DC series

motor field current is equal to load current.

Normally no-load current of any motor is very low compared to full load current. So

when a DC series motor, operated at no-load will have enormous speed.The dc series motor should always be started with some load. Otherwise the speed will be

enormous and fuse will blowout.

The speed of DC series motor is very large at low loads and decrease at heavy loads.So

DC series motor is not suitable for the applications where constant speed is required. Where

themotor has to be started with load, DC series motor is most suitable. So it is used in electric

traction.
