THEORY:-
In many circuits , in which various components are used are in either parallel , in series ,
or in series parallel for example , a circuit with two or more batteries connected in its
different branches . Another example is an unbalanced bridge circuit. Hence rules o series
& parallel circuits are not applicable. Such circuits can be easily solved with help of
kirchoffs law which are as follows.

1. Kirchoffs current Law

2. Kirchoffs voltage law.

KIRCHOFFS CURRENT LAW

It states that in any network of conductors, the algebraic sum of currents meeting at
appoint (at a junction) is 0

In other words, the total current leaving a junction is equal to the total current entering
that point.

I1 I2

I3 I5
I4

Fig.1
I1+I4=I2+I3+I5
Incoming signal + ve
& outgoing signal ve .

Explanation:
Consider in case of 5 currents meeting at junction A of the network is shown in fig.1.
All the currents entering the junction would be taken as positive where as those leaving is
taken as ve .

Determination of algebraic sign

We will follow a very simple sign conversion which would apply equally to IR drop &
battery emfs . A rise (or increase) in voltage would be considered as +ve. & given and +
ve sign & a fall (or decrease) in voltage would be considered -ve & hence given as - ve
sign.

Battery EMF
While going round a loop ( in a direction of our own choice ) if we go from the ve
terminal of battery to its +ve terminal , there is rise in potential , hence this EMF should
be given as + ve signal .On the other hand if we go from its + ve terminal ti its ve
terminal , theres a fall in potential , hence this battery EMF should be given as ve sign .

It is important to note that algebraic sign of battery EMF is independent

of the direction of current flow. (Whether clockwise or in anticlockwise) through the
branch which the battery is connected.

G.H.RAISONI COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, NAGPUR 3

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Ist YEAR B.E.

IR drops in series.
If we go through a circuit in the same direction as its current, then there is a fall or
decrease in potential for the simple reason that current always flow from higher to lower
potential. Hence this IR drop should be taken as ve. However, if we go around the loop
in direction opposite to that of the current there is a rise in voltage. Hence these IR should
be taken as +ve. It clears that the algebraic sign of IR drop across a resister depends on
the direction of current through that resistor.

Consider a loop, for example, ABCDA shown in the fig.2

R1

A B
I1

R4 R2

I2
I4
E1 E2
I3

D R3 C

Fig 2

Starting from point A , if we go around the mesh in clockwise direction the different
EMF s & IOR drop will have following values and signs .

I1R1 ------ is ve ( fall in potential )

I2R2 ----- - is +ve (rise in potential )
E2 ------ is ve ( Fall in potential
I 3R3 ------ is ve ( fall in potential )
E1--------- is +ve ( rise in potential )
I 4R4--------- is ve ( fall in potential )

According to KVL

I 1R1 I 2R2 E2 - I 3R3 + E1 I 4R4 = 0

- I1R1 + I2R2 - I3R3 - I4R4 = E2 - E1
I1R1- I2R2 + I3R3 + I4R4 = E1- E2
VR1- VR2 + VR3 + VR4 = E1- E2

THEORY:-
The theory should cover details about following points.

1. Production of rotating magnetic field.

2. Rotor induced E.M.F.
3. Basic motor action.
4. Reversal of direction of rotation.

1.Connect the circuit as shown in fig.
2.Ensure that the dimmerstat is at zero position.
3.Switch ON the 3-phase AC supply.
4.Increase the output voltage of the dimmerstat slowly upto 50 V
5.The rotor of Induction Motor rotates in one direction.
6.Make the output of dimmerstat zero.
7.Now interchange any two phases. Now phase sequence of applied voltage is
RBY.
8.Increase the output voltage of the dimmerstat slowly upto 50 V
9.Now the rotor of Induction Motor rotates in opposite direction.

PRECAUTIONS :-

1.All connections should be perfectly tight.

2.Do not switch on the supply until and unless the connections are checked by the
teacher.
3.Ensure the dimmer stat at zero position before switching the supply ON.

CONCLUSION:
It is observed that the direction of rotation of 3 phase Induction Motor can
be changed by interchanging two supply phase with each other.

(A) For armature voltage control

1.Take a set of readings at minimum resistance position of both
rheostats.
2.Keeping field current constant, vary the rheostat connected in armature
circuit by increasing its value and note down the armature voltage
and corresponding values of speed.
B) For field current control
1.Bring the rheostat connected in armature circuit back to minimum
resistance position.
2.Keeping armature voltage constant now increase the resistance of field
circuit by adjusting its rheostat.
3. Measure field current and corresponding values of speed.
4.After taking the required number of sets of readings adjust both
rheostats to their minimum resistance position and switch OFF the dc
supply.

PRECAUTIONS:-
1) All connections should be perfectly tight and no loose wire should lie
on the work table.
2) Before switching ON the dc supply , ensure that the starters moving
arm is at its maximum resistance position.
3) Do not switch on the supply, until and unless the connection are
checked by the teacher
4) Avoid error due to parallax while reading the meters.
5) Hold the tachometer with both hands steady and in line with the
motor shaft
so that it reads correctly.
