LABORATORY PRACTICE
SAFETY RULES
1. SAFETY is of paramount importance in the Electrical Engineering Laboratories.
2.Electricity NEVER EXECUSES careless persons. So, exercise enough care and attention in handling electrical equipment and follow safety practices in the laboratory. (Electricity is a good servant but a bad master). 3.Avoid direct contact with any voltage source and power line voltages. (Otherwise, any such contact may subject you to electrical shock) 4.Wear rubber-soled shoes. (To insulate you from earth so that even if you accidentally contact a live point, current will not flow through your body to earth and hence you will be protected from electrical shock) 5.Wear laboratory-coat and avoid loose clothing. (Loose clothing may get caught on an equipment/instrument and this may lead to an accident particularly if the equipment happens to be a rotating machine) 6.Girl students should have their hair tucked under their coat or have it in a knot. 7.Do not wear any metallic rings, bangles, bracelets, wristwatches and neck chains. (When you move your hand/body, such conducting items may create a short circuit or may touch a live point and thereby subject you to electrical shock) 8.Be certain that your hands are dry and that you are not standing on wet floor. (Wet parts of the body reduce the contact resistance thereby increasing the severity of the shock) 9.Ensure that the power is OFF before you start connecting up the circuit.(Otherwise you will be touching the live parts in the circuit) 10.Get your circuit diagram approved by the staff member and connect up the circuit strictly as per the approved circuit diagram. 11.Check power chords for any sign of damage and be certain that the chords use safety plugs and do not defeat the safety feature of these plugs by using ungrounded plugs. 12.When using connection leads, check for any insulation damage in the leads and avoid such defective leads. 13.Do not defeat any safety devices such as fuse or circuit breaker by shorting across it. Safety devices protect YOU and your equipment. 14.Switch on the power to your circuit and equipment only after getting them checked up and approved by the staff member.
15.Take the measurement with one hand in your pocket. (To avoid shock in case you accidentally touch two points at different potentials with your two hands) 16.Do not make any change in the connection without the approval of the staff member. 17.In case you notice any abnormal condition in your circuit ( like insulation heating up, resistor heating up etc ), switch off the power to your circuit immediately and inform the staff member. 18.Keep hot soldering iron in the holder when not in use. 19.After completing the experiment show your readings to the staff member and switch off the power to your circuit after getting approval from the staff member. 20.While performing load-tests in the Electrical Machines Laboratory using the brake-drums: i. Avoid the brake-drum from getting too hot by putting just enough water into the brakedrum at intervals; use the plastic bottle with a nozzle (available in the laboratory ) to pour the water.(When the drum gets too hot, it will burn out the braking belts) Do not stand in front of the brake-drum when the supply to the load-test circuit is switched off. (Otherwise, the hot water in the brake-drum will splash out on you) After completing the load-test, suck out the water in the brake-drum using the plastic bottle with nozzle and then dry off the drum with a spongewhich is available in the laboratory.(The water, if allowed to remain in the brake-drum, will corrode it)
ii. iii.
21.Determine the correct rating of the fuse/s to be connected in the circuit after understanding correctly the type of the experiment to be performed: no-load test or full-load test, the maximum current expected in the circuit and accordingly use that fuse-rating.(While an over-rated fuse will damage the equipment and other instruments like ammeters and watt-meters in case of over load, an under-rated fuse may not allow one even to start the experiment)
22. At the time of starting a motor, the ammeter connected in the armature circuit overshoots, as the starting current is around 5 times the full load rating of the motor. Moving coil ammeters being very delicate, may get damaged due to high starting current. A switch has been provided on such meters to disconnect the moving coil of the meter during starting. This switch should be closed after the motor attains full speed. Moving iron ammeters and current coils of wattmeters are not so delicate and hence these can stand short time overload due to high starting current. No such switch is therefore provided on these meters. Moving iron meters are cheaper and more rugged compared to moving coil meters. Moving iron meters can be used for both a.c. and d.c. measurement. Moving coil instruments are however more sensitive and more accurate as compared to their moving iron counterparts and these can be used for d.c. measurements only. Good features of moving coil instruments are not of much consequence for you as other sources of errors in the experiments are many times more than those caused by these meters. 23. Some students have been found to damage meters by mishandling in the following ways: i. Keeping unnecessary material like books, lab records, unused meters etc. causing meters to fall down the table.
ii.
Putting pressure on the meter (specially glass) while making connections or while talking or listening somebody.
STUDENTS ARE STRICTLY WARNED THAT FULL COST OF THE METER WILL BE RECOVERED FROM THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS DAMAGED IT IN SUCH A MANNER.
Copy these rules in your Lab Record. Observe these yourself and help your friends to observe..
I have read and understand these rules and procedures. I agree to abide by these rules and procedures at all times while using these facilities. I understand that failure to follow these rules and procedures will result in my immediate dismissal from the laboratory and additional disciplinary action may be taken.

8.Graphs: Graphs are used to present large amounts of data in a concise visual form. Data to be presented in graphical form should be plotted in the laboratory so that any questionable data points can be checked while the experiment is still set up. The grid lines in the notebook can be used for most graphs. If special graph paper is required, affix the graph permanently into the notebook. Give all graphs a short descriptive title. Label and scale the axes. Use units of measure. Label each curve if more than one on a graph. 9.Results: The results should be presented in a form which makes the interpretation easy. Large amounts of numerical results are generally presented in graphical form. Tables are generally used for small amounts of results. Theoretical and experimental results should be on the same graph or arrange in the same table in a way for easy correlation of these results. 10.Conclusion: This is your interpretation of the results of the experiment as an engineer. Be brief and specific. Give reasons for important discrepancies.

THEORY: The regulation of a 3-phase alternator may be predetermined by conducting the Open Circuit (OC) and the Sort Circuit (SC) tests. The methods employed for determination of regulation are EMF or synchronous impedance method, MMF or Ampere Turns method and the ZPF or Potier triangle method. In this experiment, the EMF and MMF methods are used. The OC and SC graphs are plotted from the two tests. The synchronous impedance is found from the OC test. The regulation is then determined at different power factors by calculations using vector diagrams. The EMF method is also called pessimistic method as the value of regulation obtained is much more than the actual value. The MMF method is also called optimistic method as the value of regulation obtained is much less than the actual value. In the MMF method the armature leakage reactance is treated as an additional armature reaction. In both methods the OC and SC test data are utilized. PRECAUTIONS: (i) (ii) (iii) The motor field rheostat should be kept in the minimum resistance position. The alternator field potential divider should be kept in the minimum voltage position. Initially all switches are in open position.
PROCEDURE: (FOR BOTH EMF AND MMF METHODS) 1. Note down the name plate details of the motor and alternator. 2. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram. 3. Switch ON the supply by closing the DPST switch.

Conduct Open Circuit test by varying the potential divider for various values of field current and tabulate the corresponding Open Circuit Voltage readings. 6. Conduct Short Circuit test by closing the TPST switch and adjust the potential divider to set the rated armature current and tabulate the corresponding field current. 7. The Stator resistance per phase is determined by connecting any one phase stator winding of the alternator as per the circuit diagram using MC voltmeter and ammeter of suitable ranges. PROCEDURE TO DRAW GRAPH FOR EMF METHOD: 1. Draw the Open Circuit Characteristic curve (Generated Voltage per phase VS Field current). 2.

AIM:To study the construction, working principle and performance characteristics of Synchronous Induction Motor. APPARATUS REQUIRED:3 Phase Synchronous Induction Motor with loading arrangement Auto Induction Starter panel 1 TPDT knife switch - 1 Tachometer - 1 THEORY:In the applications where high starting torque and constant speed are desired then synchronous induction motor can be used. It has the advantages of both synchronous motor and induction motor. The synchronous motor gives constant speed whereas induction motors can be started against full load torque. Consider a normal slip ring induction motor having three phase winding on the rotor as shown in the figure. The motor is connected to the exciter which gives d.c. supply to the rotor through slip rings. One phase carries full d.c. current while the other two carries half the full d.c. current as they are connected in parallel. Due to this d.c. excitation, permanent poles (N and S) formed on the rotor. Initially it is run as a slip ring induction motor with the help of starting resistances. When the resistances are cut out the motor runs with a slip. Now the connections are changed and the exciter is connected in series with the rotor windings which will remain in the circuit permanently. As the motor is running as induction motor initially high starting torque (up to twice full load value) can be developed. When the d.c. excitation is provided it is pulled into synchronism and starts running at constant speed. Thus synchronous induction motor provides constant speed, large starting torque, low starting current and power factor correction. PRECAUTIONS: 1. The motor should be started without load. 2. The rotor resistance starter should be kept in the maximum resistance position while starting. 3. The field potential divider should be kept in the maximum resistance position.
PROCEDURE: 1. 2. 3. 4. Note down the name plate details of the motor. Connections are given as per the circuit diagram. Close the TPST switch in order to supply the rated voltage to the motor. Start the motor by closing the TPDT switch (position 123) with the rotor resistance starter in maximum resistance position to run the motor at rated speed. 5. Change the position of TPDT switch (position 123) in order to excite the rotor by DC source where the excitation should be given gradually through the potential divider to maintain the synchronous speed. 6. The resistance if the stator can be measured using Dc supply with voltmeter and ammeter or directly using a multimeter. RESULT: The working principle and performance characteristics of the synchronous induction motor have been studied.

THEORY: NECESSITY OF STARTERS: An induction motor is similar to a secondary short circuit three phase transformer so if normal voltage is applied to the motor it takes 5 to 6 times of normal current from the mains and starting torque is also increased to around 1.5 to 2.5 times of their full load torque. This initial excessive starting current is objectionable, because it will produce large line voltage drop, which in turn will affect the operation of the other electrical equipments connected to the same mains. So the starters are used to reduce the starting current of induction motor and also to protect the motor and also used to protect the motor from overloading and low voltages. TYPES OF STARTERS: (1) Direct Online Starter (2) Auto transformer Starter (3) Star Delta Starter (4) Rotor Resistance Starter
DIRECT ON LINE STARTER [DOL STARTER]:Generally when the starter winding of on induction motor are connected to the Supply directly .a very large current of about 5-8 times full load current flow initially. such a starting .of the induction motor is called direct on line starting. The initial stage current decreases of the motor starts accelerating and running at normal speed. Unlike d.c motors where such a starting can damage the windings due to a lsent 0/- back Emf at start induction motor can le started .This way through out not expandly in a short space of time called cycling .The only effect of the shorting is the sudden line voltage drop that occurs which may affect other electrically equipments on the same time line .hence direct an line
starting is not advisable for motor with rating greater than 5 HP. The points to be kept in mind for DOL starting are Whether other electrical equipment connected to the same lines can with stand The sudden voltage fluctuation caused by the starting. Whether the generator and distribution system can with stand the high voltage Dip and large current drawn . In case of loads having high inertia like centrifugal oil separate time may also be a factor
REASON FOR AVOIDING FAST CYCLING At start the starting current Ist is about 5-8 times normal full load current .therefore The starting heat generated itself is related to 1st as Hst Ist2 And Hst is 26-64 times normal heating also at start there is no winding and other losses . Hence repeated starting in short space of time or fast cycling may cause successive heat and damage of coil . HOW THE STARTER WORKS: Control circuit: Thus circuit consists of conductor coil in series with start button stop Button and over load trip contacts is called control circuit. When the start button is pressed the control circuit energized to via lines of the 3 phase supply is connected the control coil the contactor classes and starts The motor after releasing the start .It spring back but the contactor is kept enargised by another auxillary winding . When the stop button is released proceed, it break the circuits & the contactors trips & the motor stops. Under excess current leaving drawn the over current trip coil are energized magnetic coil or the normally open (NO) the overload trip contact and stop the motor. AUTO TRANSFORMER STARTER This stator is useful and suitable for motor in which each and of the 3-phase are not all throughout and hence are not suitable for star delta starting gapped or variable autotransformer can be used for starting. The autotransformer are generally used for large motor drives like electric cargo pumps because of cost factors . STAR-DELTA-STARTER This starter is used in case of motor which are built normally with a delta connected stator winding. Basically it consist a two way switch that connected the motor star type of the time of start and delta type under normal running connection . The advantages of having a star connected winding the voltage applied over each motor phase is reduced to 1/ 3 times the normal value and the current to 1/3 time normal value . But the starting torque is also reduced by a factor of 1/3.
