MEASURMENT OF VOLTAGE, CURRENT, POWER AND POWER
FACTOR USING RLC LOAD
Expt No: Date:
AIM:
To measure power in a single phase AC circuit using wattmeter by RLC loading.
APPARTUS REQUIRED:
SL.No Name of the Apparatus Range / Type Quantity
1 Voltmeter (0-300V) MI 1 No.
2 Ammeter (0-10A) MI 1 No.
3 Wattmeter 300V,10A,LPF 1 No.
4 RLC Load 5kW 1 No.

THEORY:
Power in an electric circuit can be measured using a wattmeter. A wattmeter consists of
two coils, namely current coil and pressure coil or potential coil. The current coil is marked as
ML and pressure coil is marked as CV. The current coil measure the quantity that is proportional
to the current in the circuit the pressure coil measures quantity that is proportional to the voltage
in the circuit. The given wattmeter is loaded by direct loading. The ammeter is connected in
series to the wattmeter. Since the same current flows in both the coils, the current and voltage
across the circuit are constant. The power consumed by the load is measured using the wattmeter
and calculated using the relation given below.

THEORY:
Tube light has filament on either side. They are coated with tungsten material. The inside of
the tube has phosphorous coating which is used to convert ultraviolet into visible light and to give
the required color sensation. A choke is used to give transient high voltage so as to initiate theelectron movement which is an iron starter capacitor is used to suppress radio-interference with the
switch closed. The current flows through the choke and the starter. The glow switch suddenly
breaks thereby creating the circuit. Due to high conductivity, inductive property of the choke, a
transient high voltage is available across the filament. Hence the electrons are emitted and travel
through the tube. Then tube light is produced.
PROCEDURE:
1. Give the connections as per the circuit diagram as shown in figure.2. Fix the tube holder and the choke in the tube.3. The phase wire is connected to the choke and neutral directly to the tube4. Connect the starter in series with the tube.
RESULT:
Thus the connection of fluorescent lamp wiring is made.

The driving system of the meter provides the rotational surface of the torque for the moving
system, which in turn activates the energy meter. The energy meter is operated at induction
principle in which eddy current.
Indicated in the aluminum disc interacts with the main field and creates the driving force.
FORMULAE:
Energy meter specification = 750 rev / kWh
True energy = Power (P) x time (s)
= P x t (ws)
= P x t / 3600 x 1000 kWh
Measured energy = n / 750 kWh
Where n - number of revolutions / sec

MEASUREMENT OF EARTH RESISTANCE USING
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
Expt No: Date:
AIM:
To measure the resistance to earth / insulation resistance of the order of mega ohms.
THEORY:
For this experiment we have to use the Megger. Is is an instrument for testing the
Insulation resistance of the order of mega ohms.
PRINCIPLE:
A megger consists of an emf source and a voltmeter. The voltmeter scale is calibrated in ohms.
In measurement, the emf of the self-contained source should be equal
that of the source used in calibration. The deflection of the moving system depends on the ratio of the
currents in the coils and is independent of the applied voltage. The value of unknown resistance can be
found directly from the scale of the instrument. Figure shows detailed diagram of a megger. It consists
of a hand driven dc generator a emf about 500v.the permanent dc meter has two moving coils. First oneis deflecting coil and another another one is controlling coil. The
Deflecting coil is connected to the generator through a resistor R2. The torque due to the two coils
opposes each other. It consists of three terminals E (earth terminal) and L (line terminal) and G (guard
wire terminal).

26/26
OPERATION:
When the terminals are open circuited, no current flows through the deflecting coil.
The torque to the controlling coil moves the pointer to one end of the scale. When the terminalsare short circuited, the torque due to the controlling coil and the pointer is deflected to the other
end of the scale i.e. zero mark. In between the two extreme positions the scale is calibrated to
indicate the value of unknown resistance directly. The unknown insulation resistance is the
combination of insulation volume resistance and surface leakage resistance. The guard wire
terminal makes the surface leakage current to bypass the instrument hence only insulation
resistance is measured.
RESULT:
Thus the measured value of the resistance to earth / insulation resistance of the
unknown material is = ----- M
