LABORATORY PRACTICE
SAFETY RULES
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 brakedrums:Avoid the brake-drum from getting too hot by putting just enough water into the
brake-drum 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 sponge which is available in the
6
Electrical Machines-II Lab Manual
laboratory.(The water, if allowed to remain in the brake-drum, will corrode it)
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 fullload test, the maximum current expected in the circuit and accordingly use that fuserating.(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 watt meters 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:
Keeping unnecessary material like books, lab records, unused meters etc. causing meters
to fall down the table.
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.
GUIDELINES FOR LABORATORY NOTEBOOK
The laboratory notebook is a record of all work pertaining to the experiment. This record
should be sufficiently complete so that you or anyone else of similar technical
background can duplicate the experiment and data by simply following your laboratory
notebook. Record everything directly into the notebook during the experiment. Do not use
scratch paper for recording data. Do not trust your memory to fill in the details at a later time.
Organization in your notebook is important. Descriptive headings should be used to separate
and identify the various parts of the experiment. Record data in chronological order. A neat,
organized and complete record of an experiment is just as important as the experimental
work.
7
Electrical Machines-II Lab Manual
1. Heading:
The experiment identification (number) should be at the top of each page.Your name
and date should be at the top of the first page of each day's experimental work.
2.Object:
A brief but complete statement of what you intend to find out or verify in the
experiment should be at the beginning of each experiment
3.Diagram:
A circuit diagram should be drawn and labeled so that the actual experiment circuitry
could be easily duplicated at any time in the future. Be especially careful to record all
circuit changes made during the experiment.
4.Equipment List:
List those items of equipment which have a direct effect on the accuracy of the data. It
may be necessary later to locate specific items of equipment for rechecks if discrepancies
develop in the results.
5.Procedure:
In general, lengthy explanations of procedures are unnecessary. Be brief. Short
commentaries along side the corresponding data may be used. Keep in mind the fact that the
experiment must be reproducible from the information given in your notebook.
6.Data:
Think carefully about what data is required and prepare suitable
data tables. Record instrument readings directly. Do not use calculated results in place
of direct data; however, calculated results may be recorded in the same table with the direct
data. Data tables should be clearly identified and each data column labeled and headed by the
proper units of measure.
7.Calculations:
Not always necessary but equations and sample calculations are often given to
illustrate the treatment of the experimental data in obtaining the results.
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:Open – Circuit (OC) or No-Load Test
The purpose of this test is to determine the shunt branch parameters of the equivalent circuit of the
transformer. One of the windings is connected to supply at rated voltage, while the other winding is
kept open - circuited. From the point of view of convenience and availability of supply the test is
usually performed from the LV side, while the HV side is kept open circuited.
Voltage = V1; Current = I0 and power input = P0
Indeed the no-load current, I0 is so small (it is usually 2-6% of the rated current) and R 01 and X 01 are
also small, that V1 can be regarded as = E1 by neglecting the series impedance. This means that for all
practical purposes the power input on no-load equals the core (iron) loss i.e.,
P0 = V1 I0cos0
cos0 = P0 / V1 I0
10
Electrical Machines-II Lab Manual
Iw = I0cos0, I = I0sin0
R0 = V1/ Iw , X0 = V1 / I
Short Circuit (SC) Test
This test serves the purpose of determining the series parameters of a
transformer. For convenience of supply arrangement and voltage and current to be
handled, the test is usually conducted from the HV side of the transformer while the
LV side is short-circuited. Since the transformer resistance and leakage reactance are
very small, the voltage Vsc needed to circulate the full load current under short circuit
is as low as 5-8% of the rated voltage. The exciting current under these conditions is
only about 0.1to 0.5% of the full load current Thus the shunt branch of the equivalent
circuit can be altogether neglected. While conducting the SC test, the supply voltage is
gradually raised from zero till the transformer draws full load current. The meter
readings under these conditions are: Since the transformer is excited at very low
voltage, the iron loss is negligible (that is why shunt branch is left out ), the power
input corresponds only to the copper loss, i.e
Vsc =Voltage, Isc = Current , Psc = Power (Copper loss)
Z 01= VSC / ISC =  R 012 + X 012
Equivalent resistance, R01= PSC / (ISC)2
Equivalent reactance, X 01 =  Z 012 – R 012

THEORY:Without conducting any actual loading test is the Sumpner’s test which can only
be conducted simultaneously on two identical transformers. In conducting the Sumpner’s test
the primaries of the two transformers are connected in parallel across the rated voltage
supply(V1), while the two secondaries are connected in phase opposition. As per the
superposition theorem, if V2 source is assumed shorted, the two transformers appear in opencircuit to source V1 as their secondries are in phase opposition and therefore no current can
flow in them. The current drawn from source V1 is thus 2I0 (twice the no-load current of each
transformer) and power is 2P0 (= 2Pi , twice the core loss of each transformer). When V1 is
regarded as shorted, the transformers are series-connected across V2 and are short-circuited
on the side of primaries. Therefore, the impedance seen at V2 is 2Z and whenV2 is adjusted to
circulate full-load current (Ifl), the power fed in is 2Pc (twice the full-load copper-loss of each
transformer). Thus in the Sumpner’s test while the transformers are not supplying any load,
full iron-loss occurs in their core and full copper-loss occurs in their windings; net power
input to the transformers being(2Po+2Pc).The heat run test could , therefore, be conducted on
the two transformers, while only losses are supplied.
For each trans former the results are
Voltage =V1 , Current = I0 /2 , Core losses = P0 /2
Voltage =Vsc /2 , Current = Isc , Copper losses = Psc /2
P0 = Pi (iron-loss)
P0 = V1 I0cos0
cos0 = P0 / V1 I0

THEORY :
A 3-phase induction motor consists of stator, rotor & other associated parts. In the stator
,a 3- phase winding (provided) are displaced in space by 120. A3- phase current is fed to the
winding so that a resultant rotating magnetic flux is generated. The rotor starts rotating due to
the induction effect produced due the relative velocity between the rotor
Winding & the rotating flux.
As a general rule, conversion of electrical energy to mechanical energy takes place in to the
rotating part on electrical motor. In DC motors, electrical power is conduct directly to the
armature, i.e, rotating part through brushes and commutator. Hence, in this sense, a DC motor
can be called as 'conduction motor'.
However, in AC motors, rotor does not receive power by conduction but by induction in
exactly the same way as secondary of a two winding T/F receives its power from the primary.
So, these motors are known as Induction motors. In fact an induction motor can be taken as
rotating T/F, i.e, one in which primary winding is stationary and but the secondary is free.
The starting torque of the Induction motor can be increase by improving its p.f by adding
external resistance in the rotor circuit from the stator connected rheostat, the rheostat resist
ance being progressively cut out as the motor gathers speed. Addition of external resistance
increases the rotor impedance and so reduces the rotor current. At first, the effect of improved
p.f predominates the current decreasing effect of impedance. So, starting torque is increased.
At time of starting, external resistance is kept at maximum resistance position and after a
certain time, the effect of increased impedance predominates the effect of improved p.f and
so the torque starts decreasing. By this during running period the rotor resistance being
progressively cut-out as the motor attains its speed. In this way, it is possible to get good
starting torque as well as good running torque.

THEORY :Hysteresis and eddy current losses are called iron loss and take place in core of the
transformer .
Hysteresis loss is given by = Wh = KBmox1.6 f = Af
Eddy current loss also depends on the frequency f and is given by
We = KB2mox f2 t2 =Bf2
B max = Maximum flux density weber / m2
F = frequency cycles/ seconds
t = thickness of stamping
The iron loss will be expressed by
W i = Af +B f2
W i/ f = A + B f ,
y =mx+c
This is equation of straight line y = m x + c, when y = w i / f , c = A , and m = B
and x = f.
Eddy current and Hysteresis loss can be separated when A and B are found.
The variable frequency supply is obtained from an alternator when frequency can be
varied.

Theory:Just as in case of generator the input to the alternator is not readily measured .The
direct measurement of efficiency of actual loading is accompanied by different difficulties of
providing the necessary power and finding suitable load .Efficiency is therefore determined
by measuring the losses of the machinery .The losses in alternator are as follows :a) Electrical Losses: - This includes field loss, armature winding loss, and brush contact
loss. The copper loss in the field circuit is obtained by adding If2Rf loss of field
winding and the electrical loss of field rheostat or more simply by multiplying the
excitation voltage by current. This loss is constant for any given voltage and power
30
Electrical Machines-II Lab Manual
factor but varies with to. The maintenance of rated voltage at low lagging power factor
needs comparatively large field current and gives the maximum field loss.
The armature copper loss in the stator winding is determined on
the basis of armature resistance whether the ohm or the effective resistance should be
used depends on the treatment of stray load loss.
The electrical loss at the brush contacts between brushes and slip
ring is usually quite small and is often neglected.
b) Core Loss: - Due to the eddy currents and hysteresis caused by the flux resulting
from the combined rotor and stator field such losses occur in the pole face and
armature teeth and core. This loss is assumed to be independent of load but varies
with excitation, if the excitation is factor then this loss changes also. It is equal to the
difference of power required to drive the alternator with and without the field excited.
c) Friction and Winding Loss: - It includes ventilation loss (power requirement to
include the cooling air) and loss due to bearing and brush friction. Since the speed is
constant so this loss for particular machine remains constant .It is equal to the
mechanical power required to drive the alternator at rated speed with no excitation.
d) Load or Stray Power Loss: - Loss is due to armature leakage flux which causes eddy
current and hysteresis loss in the iron surrounding the armature conductors in addition
core loss caused by distortion of the magnetic field under load conditions. It may
however be included in the efficiency calculation by using the effective value of R
instead of the dc R.
Procedure:i.

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.

THEORY:
The variation of field current effects the power factor at which the synchro- nous motor
operates. For a syn motor, the armature current phasor is given by Ia=V-E where V is the
applied voltage .From the above equation it is clear that the magnitude and phase angle of
phasor Ia
depends upon the value of DC excitation. When the syn. Motor is operated at constant load
with variable field excitation, it is observed that:
a) When the excitation is low, the armature current is lag in nature & the magnitude is
comparatively high.
b) If the excitation is gradually increased, the magnitude of Ia is gradually decreasing and the
angle of lag is gradually reduced.
c) At one particular excitation, the magnitude of Ia corresponding to that load in minimum
and vector will be in phase with V vector.
d) If the excitation is further increased, the magnitude of Ia again gradually increased and Ia
,vector goes to leading state and the angle of load is also gradually increased.

THEORY:
In a salient pole alternator, the reactance of magnetic circuit along is along its quad stator
axis. The alternator is driven by auxiliary prime mover at a speed slightly less than the
synchronous speed under these conditions. The armature current is when the armature current
mmf is in line with the field poles. The reactance by the magnetic field current is minimum.
The ratio of maximum voltage to minimum current gives the direct axis impedance and the
ratio of minimum voltage to maximum current gives the armature axis impedance.
The values of Xd & Xq are determined by conducting the slip-test. The syn. machine is
driven by a separate prime mover at a speed slightly different from synchronous speed. The
field winding is left open and positive sequence balanced voltages of reduced magnitude
(around 25% of the rated value) and of rated frequency and impressed across the armature
terminals. Here, the relative velocity b/w the field poles and the rotating armature mmf wave
is equal to the difference b/w syn. speed and the rotor speed i.e, the slip speed . When the
rotor is along the d-axis, then it has a position of min reluctance, min flux linkage and max
flux produced links with the winding.then Xd = (max. armature terminal voltage/ph) / (min.
armature current/ph)As the current is small then Vt
will be high as drop will be small.When the rotor is along q-axis, then it is max, then the flux
linkage would be max.Then The min flux produced links with winding. So max emf. Xq =
(min. armature terminal voltage/ph) / (max. armature current/ph)

THEORY :Phase conversion from three to two phase is needed in special cases, such as in
supplying 2-phase electric arc furnaces.
The concept of 3/2-phase conversion follows from the voltage phasor diagram of
balanced 3-phase supply shown in Fig 1. If the point M midway VBC could be located , then
VAM leads VBC by 90o. A 2-phase supply could thus be obtained by means of transformers;
one connected across AM, called the teaser transformer and the other connected across the
lines B and C. since VAM= (3/2) VBC , the transformer primaries must have  3 N1/2 (teaser)
and N1 turns; this would mean equal voltage/turn in each transformer. A balanced 2-phase
supply could then be easily obtained by having both secondaries with equal number of turns,
N2. The point M is located midway on the primary of the transformer connected across the
lines B and C. The connection of two such transformers, known as the Scott connection, is

shown in Fig. 1(a), while the phasor diagram of the 2-phase supply on the secondary side is
shown in Fig. 1(c).
The neutral point on the 3-phase side, if required, could be located at the point N
which divides the primary winding of the tertiary in the ratio 1 : 2 (refer Fig.)

factor is drawn in fig. (2) from which it is obvious that the currents drawn from the 3phase system are balanced and cophasal with the star voltages. The phasor diagram for the

PROCEDURE :a) Make connections as for circuit diagram, keep the load switch and switch S open .
b) Switch on the mains , see the volt meter reading of V1 , if this reading is 460V(double
the secondary voltage of both the machines) then switch of and inter change the
connections of secondary of any transformer . if reads zero then the switch S can be
closed , this way the polarities can be checked since wrong polarity will short circuit
the transformers if operated in parallel .
c) Close switch S and then close the load switch.
d) For various values of load current , record terminal voltage ,current in two secondary’s
, power supply by the two transformers and the total power,(do not exceed 10 A for
total current)
e) Switch of load and switch of main.
f) Determine the equivalent reactance’s and resistance’s of both transformers referred
to HV winding by SC test

CAULATIONS :-For a given load current IL at an angle ф the current and power
supply by each
transformer can be found out by the following formula
IA= (IL)X{(ZB)/(ZA+ZB)}
IB = (IL)X{(ZA)/(ZA+ZB)}
If S is the load KVA, then the KVA shared by the transformers can be found out by
SA= (S)X{(ZB)/(ZA+ZB)}
SB = (S)X{(ZA)/(ZA+ZB)}
Check the result obtained with the Theoretical calculations .
RESULTS:a) With the help of phasor diagram verify if IA = IB= I.
b) Check if the load shared is proportional to the KVA capacities of the respective
transformers
c) From the results state if RA /XA =RB /XB
