THEORY:
Direct load test is conducted to determine the efficiency characteristics and regulation
characteristics of the given transformer.
An ideal transformer is supposed to give constant secondary voltage irrespective of the load
current. But, practically the secondary voltage decreases as the transformer is loaded due to primary
and secondary impedance drops. Since these drops are dependent on load current, this variation in
terminal voltage is found using direct loading.
PRECAUTIONS:
1. Remove the fuse carriers before wiring and start wiring as per the circuit diagram.
2. Fuse Calculations: This being a load test, the required fuse ratings are 120% of rated current.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
PROCEDURE:
1. The circuit connections are made as per the circuit diagram as shown in figure.
2. Keeping the autotransformer in its minimum position and the DPST switch in open position, the
main supply is switched ON.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LAB MANUAL II YEAR
24
3. By slowly and carefully operating the Auto transformer the rated voltage (115V) is applied to the
L.V side of the transformer.
4. Under no-load condition, one set of readings namely VH.V, IH.V, WH.Vs, VL.V, WL.V, are recorded in
the tabular column.
5. The DPST switch on the load side is now closed and the load is increased in gradual steps and at
each step all meter readings are noted down in the tabular column.
6. The procedure is continued until the current on the H.V side is equal to its full load value.
7. After the experiment is completed, the load is decreased to its minimum, the auto transformer is
brought back to its original position and then the main supply is switched OFF.
CALCULATIONS:-

SPEED CONTROL OF THREE PHASE SLIP RING INDUCTION MOTOR
AIM: To conduct the speed control test on three phase slip ring induction motor.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:

1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. Note down the resistance in each phase using Multimeter.
3. Switch ON the A.C power supply.
4. Then the speed of the motor is taken for each resistance per phase.

THEORY
These motors are practically started with full line voltage applied across the stator
terminals, the value of starting current is adjusted by introducing the variable resistance
in the rotor circuit. The controlling resistance is in the resistance being gradually cut out
of the rotor circuit, as the motor attains rated speed. It has been already shown that by
decreasing rotor resistance, the motor attains rated speed and at the same time the starting
torque is also increased due to improvement in power factor.

STUDY OF D.C & A.C MOTOR STARTERS
AIM:
To study the different kinds of D.C &A.C motor starters
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
THEORY :
The value of the armature current in a D.C shunt motor is given by
Ia = ( V – Eb )/ Ra
Where V = applied voltage.
Ra = armature resistance.
E b = Back .e.m.f .
In practice the value of the armature resistance is of the order of 1 ohms and at the instant
of starting the value of the back e.m.f is zero volts. Therefore under starting conditions
the value of the armature current is very high. This high inrush current at the time of
starting may damage the motor. To protect the motor from such dangerous current the
D.C motors are always started using starters.
The types of D.C motor starters are
i) Two point starters
ii) Three point starters
iii) Four point starters.
The functions of the starters are
i) It protects the from dangerous high speed.
ii) It protects the motor from overloads.

i) TWO POINT STARTERS: ( refer fig 1)
It is used for starting D.C. series motors which has the problem of over speeding
due to the loss of load from its shaft. Here for starting the motor the control arm is moved
in clock-wise direction from its OFF position to the ON position against the spring
tension. The control arm is held in the ON position by the electromagnet E. The exciting
coil of the hold-on electromagnet E is connected in series with the armature circuit. If the
motor loses its load, current decreases and hence the strength of the electromagnet also
decreases. The control arm returns to the OFF position due to the spring tension, Thus
preventing the motor from over speeding. The starter also returns to the OFF position
when the supply voltage decreases appreciably. L and F are the two points of the starter
which are connected with the motor terminals
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LAB MANUAL II YEAR
50
ii) THREE POINT STARTER: ( refer fig 2 )
It is used for starting the shunt or compound motor. The coil of the hold on
electromagnet E is connected in series with the shunt field coil. In the case of
disconnection in the field circuit the control arm will return to its OFF position due to
spring tension. This is necessary because the shunt motor will over speed if it loses
excitation. The starter also returns to the OFF position in case of low voltage supply or
complete failure of the supply. This protection is therefore is called No Volt Release
( NVR).
Over load protection:
When the motor is over loaded it draws a heavy current. This heavy current also
flows through the exciting coil of the over load electromagnet ( OLR). The
electromagnet then pulls an iron piece upwar6.ds which short circuits the coils of the
NVR coil. The hold on magnet gets de-energized and therefore the starter arm returns to
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LAB MANUAL II YEAR
51
the OFF position, thus protecting the motor against overload. L, A and F are the three
terminals of the three point starter.
iii) FOUR POINT STARTER:
The connection diagram of the four point starter is shown in fig 3. In a four point
starter arm touches the starting resistance, the current from the supply is divided into
three paths. One through the starting resistance and the armature, one through the field
circuit, and one through the NVR coil. A protective resistance is connected in series with
the NVR coil. Since in a four point starter the NVR coil is independent of the of the field
ckt connection , the d.c motor may over speed if there is a break in the field circuit. A
D.C motor can be stopped by opening the main switch. The steps of the starting
resistance are so designed that the armature current will remain within the certain limits
and will not change the torque developed by the motor to a great extent.

STUDY OF INDUCTION MOTOR STARTERS
AUTO –TRANSFORMER STARTING
An auto transformer starter consists of an auto transformer and a switch as shown
in the fig. When the switch S is put on START position, a reduced voltage is applied
across the motor terminals. When the motor picks up speed, say to 80 per cent of its
mornal speed, the switch is put to RUN position. Then the auto-transformer is cut out of
the circuit and full rated voltage gets applied across the motor terminals.
(Ref. To text book for fig)
The circuit dia in the fig is for a manual auto-transformer starter. This can be made push
button operated automatic controlled starter so that the contacts switch over from start to
run position as the motor speed picks up to 80% of its speed. Over-load protection relay
has not been shown in the figure. The switch S is air-break type for small motors and oil
break type for large motors. Auto transformer may have more than one tapping to enable
the user select any suitable starting voltage depending upon the conditions.
Series resistors or reactors can be used to cause voltage drop in them and thereby allow
low voltage to be applied across the motor terminals at starting. These are cut out of the
circuit as the motor picks up speed.
STAR- DELTA METHOD OF STARTING:
The startor phase windings are first connected in star and full voltage is connected across
its free terminals. As the motor picks up speed, the windings are disconnected through a
switch and they are reconnected in delta across the supply terminals. The current drawn
by the motor from the lines is reduced to as compared to the current it would have drawn
if connected in delta.The motor windings, first in star and then in delta the line current
drawn by the motor at starting is reduced to one third as compared to starting current with
the windings delta-connected.
In making connections for star-delta starting, care should be taken such that sequence of
supply connections to the winding terminals does not change while changing from star
connection to delta connection. Otherwise the motor will start rotating in the opposite
direction, when connections are changed from star to delta. Star-delta starters are
available for manual operation using push button control. An automatic star – delta starter
used time delay relays(T.D.R) through which star to delta connections take place
automatically with some pre-fixed time delay. The delay time of the T.D.R is fixed
keeping in view the starting time of the motor.
(Ref. To text book for fig)
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LAB MANUAL II YEAR
53
FULL VOLTAGE OR DIRECT –ON-LINE STARTING
When full voltage is connected across the stator terminals of an induction motor,
large current is drawn by the windings. This is because, at starting the induction motor
behaves as a short circuited transformer with its secondary, i.e. the rotor separated from
the primary, i.e. the stator by a small air-gap.
At starting when the rotor is at standstill, emf is induced in the rotor circuit
exactly similar to the emf induced in the secondary winding of a transformer. This
induced emf of the rotor will circulate a very large current through its windings. The
primary will draw very large current from the supply mains to balance the rotor ampere-
turns. To limit the stator and rotor currents at starting to a safe value, it may be necessary
to reduce the stator supply voltage to a low value. If induction motors are started direct-
on-line such a heavy starting current of short duration may not cause harm to the motor
since the construction of induction motors are rugged. Other motors and equipment
connected to the supply lines will receive reduced voltage. In industrial installations,
however, if a number of large motors are started by this method, the voltage drop will be
very high and may be really objectionable for the other types of loads connected to the
system. The amount of voltage drop will not only be dependent on the size of the motor
but also on factors like the capacity of the power supply system, the size and length of the
line leading to the motors etc. Indian Electricity Rule restricts direct on line starting of 3
phase induction motors above 5 hp.
