OBJECT
Energization of Benches installed in electrical machines lab, through main panel.
APPARATUS
1. Bench2. Main Panel
THEORY
Every motor-generator set bench located here in electrical machines laboratory is not
directly connected to KESC supply. Instead of connecting bench with KESC supply, we have
main panel which is connected with KESC supply and benches are connected with main panel.
Every bench has DC supply, 3-supply, 1-supply and supply given to bench for services.
Services supply is used for energization of any equipment through that specific bench for
instance if we want to connect tachometer to abench, it is energized through service supply etc.
Main panel has three major portions, namely
1. Main supply-services-fix DC lines
2. Main supply-single phase AC fix lines-three phase AC fix lines
3. Main supply-interconnections
1. Main supply-services-fix DC lines
This is first portion and it includes a knife switch, three ammeters connected through CTs
measuring phase current and a voltmeter connected through PT measuring Line voltage. Upon
energization of this portion fans installed inside every bench start running and services switches
of every bench are also energized. Except this one line diagram of fix DC supply is also on this
portion.

2. Main supply-single phase AC fix lines-three phase AC fix lines
As the name suggest, one line diagram of single and three phase supply is located on thisportion, mean you can connect three phase and single phase supply to any bench through this
portion.
3. Main supply-interconnections
The function of this portion is to interconnect different benches. If we are generating three
phase AC supply or DC supply with the help of any motor-generator set and intend to give our
generated supply to any DC or three phase AC motor located on any other bench, in this situation
we can connect both benches through this portion.
PROCEDURE
1. Select any bench, to which you intend to energize2. With the help of single line diagram drawn on main panel, connect dc, single phase ac
and three phase ac supply

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
THEORY
The magnetization characteristics also known as No load or Open circuitcharacteristics is the relation between emf generated and field current at a given speed.
Due to residual magnetism in the poles, some emf is generated even when filed current is zero.Hence the curve starts a little way up. It is seen that the first part of the curve is practicallystraight. This is due the fact that at low flux densities reluctance of iron path is being negligible,
total reluctance is given by air gap reluctance which is constant. Hence the flux and consequentlythe generated emf is directly proportional to exciting current. However at high flux densities iron

path reluctance is being appreciable and straight relation between emf and field current no longer
holds good. In other words saturation of poles starts.
PROCEDURE

RESULT
1. The curve starts somewhat above the origin. The voltage at zero excitation is due to
residual magnetism of the field, which is necessary for building up the voltage of self-excitation generator.
2. The voltage increases rapidly at first and then changes a little in value at higher excitationsindicating the effect of the poles saturation.

THEORY
Load characteristic curve is the graphical representation which shows change in terminal
voltage with respect to change in load. After building up of voltage, if a shunt generator is loadedthen terminal voltage drops with increase in load current. There are three main reasons for the
drop of terminal voltage for a shunt generator under load.
i) Armature Reaction
Armature reaction is the effect of magnetic field set up by the armature current on the
distribution of flux under main poles of a generator. Due to demagnetizing effect of armaturereaction , pole flux is weakened and so induced e.m.f in the armature is decresed.
ii)Armature Resistance
As the load current increases, more voltage is consumed in ohmic resistance of armature
circuit. Hence the terminal voltage (Vt=EIaRa) is decreased where E is the e.m.f induced inarmature under load condition.
iii)Drop In Terminal Voltage
The drop in terminal voltage (Vt) due to armature resistance and armature reaction resultsin decreased field current, which further reduces e.m.f induced.
For a shunt generator
Ia = IL+ IfE = Vt+ IaRa
PROCEDURE
1. Make the connections as shown in circuit diagram.
2. Press yellow switch on and increase AC voltage of induction motor (prime mover) bythe help of 3-phase autotransformer until it reaches at normal speed.
3. When motor reaches rated speed, close the shunt field switch.
4. Increase field current by changing the field resistance until the terminal voltage reaches to220 volt.
5. Close the switch of load and vary the load current by means of load rheostat.6. Note down the meter readings from all meters carefully.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
THEORY
The load or external characteristic of a generator is the relation between the terminalvoltage and load current. The characteristic expressed the manner in which the voltage across theload varies with I, the value of load current. The internal or total characteristic of a generator is the
relation between the e.m.f actually induced in the generator Eaand the armature current Ia.Theinternal characteristic of the generator, which is separately excited, can be obtained as below:
Let:
Vt = Terminal voltage, Ia= Armature current, Ra= Armature resistanceThen,
Ea= Vt+ IaRa

(Ea).

THEORY
One of the classifications of parts of electric motors is according to the state of
component i.e. stationary or rotating. If it is rotating, it is called rotor otherwise it is known asstator. Construction of rotor in DC motor is different from rotor used in 3-phase induction motor.
Therefore here we will discuss them individually.
ROTOR OF DC MOTOR
It is also known as armature, it consists of armaturecore, armature winding and
commutator.
(i) Armature core:It is cylindrical in shape and made up of silicon steel sheets. It carriesarmature winding, causes them to rotate and hence cut the magnetic flux produced by
field winding- located in stator core. It is important to bear in mind, function ofarmature core is to provide very low reluctance path to the flux through the armaturefrom N-pole to S-pole.
(ii) Armature winding:There are two types of armature winding(i) Lap winding (ii) Wave winding
Lap winding is used in high current and low voltage machines whereas use of wave winding is for low current and high voltage machines.
(iii) Commutator:Function of commutator in DC motor is to produce unidirectional
torque. In DC motors we are providing DC supply through commutator. It is ofcylindrical structure and built up of segments of hard drawn copper. These segmentsare insulated from each other by layer of mica. The number of segments is equal to the
number of armature coil.
Rotors of 3- Phase Induction Motors:
Process of energy conversion in induction motor took place by induction principalhence rotor is not electrically connected either with stator or with external supply. There are two
types of rotors used in induction motor, discussed below:
Squirrel Cage Rotor:
Almost 90 percent of induction motors are squirrel-cage type, because this type of rotorhas the simplest and most rugged construction imaginable and is almost indestructible. Therotor consists of a cylindrical laminated core with parallel slots for carrying the rotor
conductors which, it should be noted clearly, are not wires but consists of heavy bars ofcopper, aluminum or alloys. One bar is placed in each slot; rather the bars are inserted from the
end when semi-closed slots are used. The rotor bars are brazed or electrically welded or boltedto two heavy and stout short-circuiting end-rings, thus giving us, what is so picturesquelycalled, a squirrel-case construction.

It should be noted that the rotor bars are permanently short-circuited by themselves; hence it is
not possible to add any external resistance in series with the rotor circuit for starting purposes.The rotor slots are usually not quite parallel to the shaft but are purposely given a slight skew.
This is useful in two ways:(1) It helps to make the motor run quietly by reducing the magnetic hum and
(2) It helps in reducing the locking tendency of the rotor i.e. the tendency of the rotor teeth to
remain under the stator teeth due to direct magnetic attraction between the two.
Phase-wound Rotor
This type of rotor is provided with 3-phase,double-layer, distributed windingconsisting of coils as used in alternator. The rotor is wound for as many poles as the number o
stator poles and is always wound 3-phase even when the stator is wound two-phase `.The three phases are starred internally; the other winding terminals are brought out and
connected to three insulated slip-rings mounted on the shaft with brushes resting on them.These three brushes are further externally connected to a three-phase star-connected rheostat,
this makes possible the introduction of additional resistance in the rotor circuit during thestarting period for increasing the starting torque of the motor and for changing its speed-torque/current characteristics. When running under normal conditions, the slip-rings are
automatically short-circuited by means of a metal collar, which is pushed along the shaft andconnects all the rings together. Next, the brushes are automatically lifted from the slip-rings to
reduce the frictional losses and the wear and tear. Hence, it is seen that under normal runningcondition, the wound rotor is short-circuited on itself just like the squirrel-case rotor.

LAB SESSION 09
OBJECTTo study parallel operation of two dc generators and shift of load on one another.
APPARATUS
1. Two Voltmeters (0 600V)
2. Two Ammeters (0 15A)
THEORY:
This arrangement of operation in parallel can be made to meet the load demand easily andwork them near to their maximum efficiency. It also helps to prevent the complete shut down in
case any generator fails.
1. If two or more generators run at full load then it is more economical and also improvesefficiency.
2. Periodical over halving and general repairs can be carried out without shut down to totalsupply; only one generator can be shut down.
3. If load on the power station increases, additional generators can be added to the already
working generators.
For proper synchronizing of generators the following condition must be achieved.
1. The terminal voltage of incoming generator must be the same as that of the runninggenerator.
2. Polarity of the incoming generator should be the same as line polarity.
PROCEDURE
1.Connect the generators and meters as shown in the diagram and check connections.
2. Run first generator at its normal speed and connect to bus bar.3. Adjust the voltage at 220V with the help of field excitation.4. Now put he load on first generator and increase the load slowly.5. Run second generator at its normal speed and regulate the voltage till it equals the bus bar
voltage.6. Check the polarity of second generator and connect it to the bus bar.
7. Note readings of ammeters of both generators and that of load ammeter.8. Shift the load of first on second by weakening the field strength of first generator but at the
same time increasing field strength of second generator.9. When all the load of first generator has shifted to second generator, disconnect first from
bus bar .Note readings of all ammeters as before.

The purpose of this test is to determine no load loss or core loss and no load current Io
which is helpful in finding Xo and Ro.One winding of the transformer which ever is convenient but usually high voltage winding
is left open and the other is connected to its supply of normal volt and frequency. A wattmeter,voltmeter and ammeter are connected in low voltage winding i.e. Primary winding in the presentcase.Normal voltage is applied toprimary normal flux willbe set up in the core hence normal iron

OBJECT
To find out the Cu losses of a single phase transformer by short circuit test.
APPARATUS
1. Voltmeter (0-15V)
2. Wattmeter (0-750)3. Ammeter (0-15A)
THEORY
In this test one winding (usually low voltage winding) is short circuited by a thick conductor orby means of ammeter (Which may serve an additional purpose of indicating rated load). A low
voltage (5-10% of the normal voltage) at normal frequency is applied to the primary andgradually increased, till full load current is flowing in both primary and secondary.
Since in this test the applied voltage is a small percentage of the normal voltage themutual flux produced is also a small percentage of its normal value. Hence core losses are verysmall with the result that the wattmeter reading represents the full load copper loss.
PROCEDURE
1. Make connections according to the given circuit.
2. Connect primary of transformer with variable ac voltage supply.3. Note down transformer rated current from name plate data and keep on increasing
voltage until you get rated current read by Ammeter connected.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
THEORY
Here AC generator is used as load on dc shunt motor. As we know generator has counter torque
which opposes input power given by dc shunt motor and counter torque is dependant loadcurrent. Hence on increasing load on generator, it will develop more counter torque, thus more

If= (Field current equation)
In shunt dc motor field is connected in parallel with armature. From its speed equation it is vivid,on increasing load speed will drop due to increased armature drop.
Decrease in speed will decrease back e.m.f. and consequently armature current will increase. Asfor as field current is concern, it will remain constant until and unless terminal voltage remains
constant.
PROCEDURE
11. Make the circuit as shown in figure.
12. Keep the motor starting rheostat at its maximum position and field rheostat at its minimumposition while starting motor.
13. Start the motor by pressing yellow switch "ON" without load.14. Adjust the motor start rheostat to its minimum value
15. Note down the readings of instrument connected.16. Now connect electrical load on generator and start increasing load in steps.
17. After every step, note down readings of instrument connected.18. Draw curves between armature current and load current and between speed and load
current
OBSERVATIONS
RESULT
1. Speed decreases and armature current increase with increase in load but field
current remains constant.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
THEORY
To understand how the synchronous motor works, assume that the application of three-
phase ac power to the stator causes a rotating magnetic field to be set up around the rotor. The
rotor is energized with dc (it acts like a bar magnet). The strong rotating magnetic field attracts
the strong rotor field activated by the dc. This results in a strong turning force on the rotor shaft.
The rotor is therefore able to turn a load as it rotates in step with the rotating magnetic field. It
works this way once its started.
However, one of the disadvantages of a synchronous motor is that it cannot be started from
a standstill by applying three-phase ac power to the stator and dc to its rotor. When ac is applied
to the stator, a high-speed rotating magnetic field appears immediately. This rotating field rushes
past the rotor poles so quickly that the rotor does not have a chance to get started. In effect, the
rotor is repelled first in one direction and then the other. A synchronous motor in its purest form
has no starting torque. It has torque only when it is running at synchronous speed. A squirrel-
cage type of winding is added to the rotor of a synchronous motor to cause it to start. The

squirrel cage is shown as the outer part of the rotor in figure. It is so named because it is shaped
and looks something like a turn able squirrel cage. Simply, the windings are heavy copper bars
shorted.Hence, three phase synchronous motor is not self started. At the starting time, it behaves
as induction motor and gets accelerated. Once it approaches speed near to synchronous speed, its
rotor winding is excited then synchronous motor start rotating at synchronous speed. If we have
given rotor supply at start, motor will just produce humming sound.
PROCEDURE
19. Make the circuit and switch on both ac and dc supply and observe the performance.
20. Disconnect dc supply, switch on ac supply and observe the performance.21. When motor run near to synchronous speed, which already calculated, switch on dc
supply also and observe the behavior.
