This document provides instructions for conducting a load test on a synchronous motor to collect data on efficiency, current, power factor, and speed versus torque. The test involves connecting measurement devices like ammeters, voltmeters and wattmeters to the motor and increasing the load in steps to collect readings. A graph will then be plotted using the collected data to study the relationships between output power and efficiency, current, power factor, and speed and torque.

LOAD TEST ON SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR
AIM:
Conduct load test on given synchronous machine operating as synchronous motor and plot the following graph. (i) Efficiency Vs Output power (ii) Load current Vs Output power (iii) Power factor Vs Output power (iv) Speed Vs Torque

THEORY: A synchronous motor which is not self starting can be started using starter. In which the synchronous motor is started as an induction motor without DC supply to the rotor of the machine. When the rotor reaches near to the synchronous speed the DC supply is fed to the rotor by the starter. Now stator field is magnetically coupled to the rotor field and the machine is running as a synchronous motor with constant speed.
PROCEDURE:
1. Make the connections as per the circuit diagram.
2. Close TPST Switch. 3. Start the machine using Induction motor starting (damper winding starting). 4. Measure the speed of motor. 5. Apply reduced voltage by auto transformer. Connect the DC supply to the field circuit. 6. Now increase the supply voltage to the motor up to rated value. 7. Note down the line current, the field current and power indicated by the corresponding ammeters and watt meters under load condition by loading arrangements. 8. Increase the load up-to the rated load current of the motor in steps and note down the readings of all the meters. 9. Reduce the load. Reduce the field current and then reduce the armature current.
RESULT: Load test on the given synchronous machine operating as synchronous motor is performed successfully. CIRCUIT DIAGRAM TABULATION:
