THEORY
Power can be measured with the help of 1. Ammeter and voltmeter (In DC circuits) 2. Wattmeter 3. Energy meter By Ammeter and Voltmeter: Power in DC circuits or pure resistive circuit can be measured by measuring the voltage & current, then applying the formula P=VI. By Energy Meter: Power can be measured wuth the help of energy meter by measuring the speed of the merter disc with a watch, with the help of following formula:
P = N x 60
K
kW
Where N= actual r.p.m of meter disc K= meter constant which is equal to disc revolutions per kW hr By Wattmeter: A wattmeter indicates the power in a circuit directly. Most commercial wattmeters are of the dynamometer type with the two coils, the current and the voltage coil called C.C & P.C. Power in three phase circuit can be measured with the help of poly phase watt-meters which consist of one two or three single phase meters mounted on a common shaft. Single Phase Power Measurement: One wattmeter is used for single phase load or balanced three phase load, three and four wire system. In three-phase, four wire system, p.c. coil is connected between phase to ground, while in three wire system, artificial ground is created.

If a>1; The transformer is step down, otherwise step up.
Transformer Polarity: When we speak "the polarity" of transformer windings, we are identifying all of the terminals that are the same polarity at any instant of time. "Polarity marks" are employed to identify these terminals. These marks may be black dots, crosses, numerals, letters, or any other convenient means of showing which terminal are of the same polarity. In our case, we use black dots. The black dots, as shown in the figure, indicate that for a given instant in time: when 1 is positive with respect to 2, then 3 is positive with respect to 4.

The identification of polarity becomes essential when we operate the two transformers in parallel. Otherwise if terminals of unlike polarity connected to the same line, the two secondary windings would be short circuited on each other with a resulting excessive current flow. Suppose we have two transformers T1 & T2, having terminals H1, H2 (HV) & X1, X2(LV) as shown in figure 2. The transformers in fig 2 are so marked that if the H1 s are connected to one primary line and the H2 s to the other primary line then the X1 s should be connected to the same secondary line and X2 s to the remaining secondary line.
Figure 2: Two transformers connected for parallel operation If the transformer terminals are arranged as shown in fig 3a, the transformer is said to have additive polarity and if arranged as shown in fig 3b, the transformer is said to have subtractive polarity.

If the polarity of the transformer is not known, it may be determined by the test connections shown in figure 4. Here low voltage side terminals may be temporary marked as XA and XB as shown in figure. Adjacent terminals are then connected and a voltmeter is connected across the other two terminals H1 and XB. Any convenient voltage is then applied to the high voltage winding of the transformer. If the voltmeter reads less than the value of the applied voltage, the polarity is subtractive and the terminals XA & XB may be marked as the X2 and X1 terminals, respectively.
Figure 4: Connection for checking the polarity of a transformer
PROCEDURE
Finding out Turns Ratio: 1. Apply 220V AC to the primary of transformer T1 through autotransformer 2. Now measure Vs using voltmeter. 3. Now calculate turns ratio a and tabulate in observation column. 4. Repeat for transformer T2.
Finding out Turns Ratio: 1. Make connections according to the given circuit fig 4 for T1 and find out the polarity. 2. Make connections according to the given circuit fig 4 for T2 and find out the polarity. 3. Now connect the two transformers according to the figure 2.

To find out the Cu losses and core losses of a single phase transformer by short circuit test.
APPARATUS
1. Voltmeter (0-15V) 2. Wattmeter (0-750) 3. Ammeter (0-15A)
Figure: Transformer Short Circuit Test
THEORY
In this test one winding (usually low voltage winding) is short circuited by a thick conductor or by 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 and gradually 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 the mutual flux produced is also a small percentage of its normal value. Hence core losses are very small 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.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

THEORY
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 present case. Normal voltage is applied to primary normal flux will be set up in the core hence normal iron loss will occur which are recorded by the wattmeter. As the primary no load Io is small usually 2-10% of rated load current Cu losses is negligible small in primary I will in secondary b/c it is open. Therefore the wattmeter reading will show practically the core loss under no load condition.

THEORY
A step-down transformer transforms the high voltage at primary side to a lower voltage at the secondary side. It works on the principle of mutual induction i.e. the transformer secondary winding has an induced emf due to the change in voltage across the primary winding. The efficiency of a transformer at a particular load and p.f is defined as the ratio between output power and input power.

THEORY
The magnetization characteristics, also known as No load or Open circuit characteristics, 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 practically straight. 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 consequently the 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
1. Connect the shunt field to armature terminal through the ammeter, switch and rheostat. 2. Connect the multi-range voltmeter across the terminals of armature. 3. Press yellow switch on and increase AC voltage of induction motor (prime mover) by the help of 3-phase autotransformer until it reaches at normal speed. 4. Note the reading of voltmeter which indicates the voltage due to residual magnetism. 5. Close field switch and excite the field at low current. 6. Increase the field current in steps and note the voltage each time. 7. Take at least 11-12 readings. 8. Tabulate the reading and draw the curve between armature induced e.m.f and exciting current

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 selfexcitation generator. 2. The voltage increases rapidly at first and then changes a little in value at higher excitations indicating the effect of the poles saturation.
What do you understand by Self Excited ? If this is a self excited machine then why there is a need of supplying voltage to the auto transformer?

Electrical Machines
Lab Session 10
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 loaded then 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 armature reaction , 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=E IaRa) is decreased where E is the e.m.f induced in armature under load condition.
iii) Drop In Terminal Voltage

The drop in terminal voltage (Vt) due to armature resistance and armature reaction results in decreased field current, which further reduces e.m.f induced. For a shunt generator Ia = IL+ If E = 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) by the 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 to 220 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.

THEORY
The load or external characteristic of a generator is the relation between the terminal voltage and load current. The characteristic expressed the manner in which the voltage across the load 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 Ea and the armature current Ia. The internal characteristic of the generator, which is separately excited, can be obtained as below: Let: Vt = Terminal voltage, Then, Ea = Vt + IaRa Ia = IL Therefore if we add drop of armature (IaRa) to terminal voltage Vt we get actually induced e.m.f (Ea). Ia = Armature current, Ra = Armature resistance

THEORY
This method is used to increase speed of DC motor above base speed.To understand what happens when the field resistance of dc motor is changed, assume that the field resistance is increased then the following sequence of cause and effect will take place 1. Increasing Rf causes If to decrease 2. Decreasing If Decreases

It is important to bear in mind, changing field resistance does not effect torque induced ,at the end its magnitude remains same but at higher or lower speed depending upon change in resistance.
PROCEDURE
1. Make connections as shown in the circuit. 2. Keep the motor starting rheostat at its maximum position and field rheostat at its minimum position while starting motor. 3. Start the motor by pressing yellow switch "ON" without load. 4. Adjust the motor start rheostat to its minimum value. 5. Decrease field current by the help of field rheostat step by step and take readings of field current and speed from digital tachometer at every step. Adjust the field rheostat to give maximum speed at which it is safe to operate the motor.

THEORY
This method is used to decrease speed of DC motor below base speed. To understand what happens when the armature resistance of DC motor is changed, assume that the armature resistance is increased then the following sequence of cause and effect will take place 1. Increasing Ra causes Ia to decrease 2. Decreasing Ia deccreases Tind 3. Decreasing Tind makes Tind < Tload, hence speed decreases.

Figure: Alternator
THEORY
A.C generator (alternator), consists of two parts, namely the field system and an armature, but unlike a dc generator, alternator has rotating field system and an stationary armature, advantages of such system are given below. An excitation sysyem is attached to give dc supply to the field. The advantages of rotating field and stationary armature are: Rotating field can run with high speed as output voltage is dependent on its rate. It is easy to insulate the stationary armature windings for high voltages.

It is easy to collect the high voltage from a fixed terminal. Stator is outside of the rotor (fixed in yoke), so more space is available for 3-phase winding.

To observe the starting of three phase Synchronous and Induction motor
APPARATUS

THEORY
To understand how the induction motor works, apply the three phase ac supply on stator of IM. The application of three-phase ac power causes a rotating magnetic field to be set up around the rotor. The voltages are induced on the rotor bars(short circuited at both ends), developing its own field. Both fields interact with each other causing the rotor to move at speed less than the synchronous speed. The reversal of any two applied phases causes the rotating magnetic field to rotate in opposite direction (w.r.t. to previous one). In this fashion an Induction motor works

To understand how the synchronous motor works, assume that the application of threephase 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 it s started.
Figure: Synchronous Motor

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
For Induction Motor: 1. Make the circuit and switch on three phase ac supply and observe the performance. 2. Now reverse any of the two phases and verify double field revolving thery.
